At Bandon Hill Primary School we want to inspire children of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to develop a passion and life-long love of music and music-making. We aim to encourage children to explore and grow their creative musical abilities and provide them with opportunities to learn the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to be able to participate in a range of musical activities with increasing confidence and enjoyment, both in their primary school years with us, and in the future.

Our intention is to provide a curriculum that encourages all children to develop their listening, composing, performing and singing skills from their own individual starting point, as they progress through the school from Early Years to Year 6. This will also help them to gradually improve their self-confidence, their teamwork and their resilience.

Music has the power to bring people together, so we aim to provide opportunities to share our children’s musical skills and achievements with friends and families in performances and concerts, so that children experience using their musical skills to move and inspire other people, both in the school and in the wider community.
