Stanford Junior School

Music and singing are given high profiles at Stanford Junior School.

Our music curriculum aims to focus on developing every child’s imagination and creativity. All children have regular music lessons taught by a specialist teacher. These music lessons are based upon four key skills: singing, playing, composing and listening. These skills are not taught as discrete subjects but are combined skilfully throughout each unit that the children are taught.

Children are also taught how to read music and understand rhythmic notation through the introduction of different instruments such as the recorder, ukulele and xylophone.

We have a thriving school choir, which participates in both school events and local music festivals. The children of Stanford also sing in a music assembly.

It is possible, through private arrangement, for children to learn to play a range of instruments taught by local authority peripatetic teachers. These include: violin, guitar, piano, keyboard, ukulele, drums and harmonica. Children have the opportunity to perform to their parents and peers in assemblies and concerts.
