Curriculum Intent

At St. Polycarp's, our music education focuses on teaching the technical, constructive, and expressive elements through a varied and well-sequenced curriculum. We set high expectations for music proficiency, creating an environment where students can embrace their musical talents and cultivate a genuine love for music both in and out of the classroom. Recognizing the social learning opportunities music presents, we value each student's contribution and aim to instil enthusiasm and enjoyment for music in all its forms. Through musical experiences, we provide students with skills and attitudes that support broader curriculum learning and develop essential life skills like listening, concentration, creativity, self-confidence, and sensitivity towards others.
