Music
A string teacher visits the schools for an afternoon every Wednesday. The school has 24 violins and 3 cellos. Children who express an interest will be tested for suitability in Year 4. A child, once chosen to play, will be expected to persevere and practise regularly.
Parents may purchase a violin under the County’s Assisted Purchase Scheme which allows a considerable discount – violins cost from approximately £40. Please ask if you are interested.
Pupils have a fortnightly singing lesson. To address the National Curriculum Music requirement that all children should learn to play a tuned instrument, recorders are taught in class and can be purchased via the school at £4.
