Music at Surrey Hills

We are aiming high with our music provision, to embed and exceed the national curriculum and to support our pupils to realise their musical potential.

We are building up a high-quality music offer consisting of three distinct, but interlinked areas of provision.

• Curriculum music- 1 hour per week of music teaching in their class
• Instrumental &vocal lessons, and ensemble membership.
• Musical events and opportunities, such as singing in assembly, concerts and shows, and trips to professional concerts.

It has been proven that music plays a key role in brain development. This is because it helps with the nurturing of language, motor skills, emotional intelligence and collaboration skills. We want all children to get these opportunities. We have a wide range of musical instruments for the children’s own improvisation, including a set of steel pans that are available within our Hub school network.

In addition to our curriculum offer, we have a Choir, Piano and Guitar teacher through Open to Music. The school Choir meet once a week for practice sessions. They take part in two wonderful events Teddy Bears Picnic and WESTfest, as well as singing at the local Care home, Reading Rooms and Churches during the festive period. Please contact the school office to find out more information.

In addition to this, Rocksteady Music School provide rock and pop band lessons in school, where children can choose from a wide variety of instruments. To book lessons, please contact on 0330 1130330, alternatively further information can be found on their website rocksteadymusicschool.com
