“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain”
Bob Marley
At SSPP, we want every child to be happy and enthusiastic learners of Music and to be eager to achieve their very best in order to fulfil their God-given talents. We are ambitious in our drive to develop a curiosity for the subject, as well as an understanding and acceptance of the validity and importance of all types of music, and an unbiased respect for the role that music may wish to be expressed in any person’s life.
We are committed to ensuring children understand the value and importance of music in the wider community, and are able to use their musical skills, knowledge, and experiences to involve themselves in music, in a variety of different contexts.
At SSPP, we understand that visits within Music will enrich the lives of the children and they will be able to discuss how the experience impacted their knowledge and understanding to allow children to talk enthusiastically about their learning in Music and are eager to further their learning in the next stages of their education.
Fundamental British Values are evident in Music and children understand how Music can celebrate differences. Through wider reading in music, children will gain an appreciation and understanding of the background and historical context of music and of the lives and interactions of the composers. Through this exposure, children will produce work that is influenced by the best of the best
At SSPP, we strive to develop a curiosity for and an understanding of the value of music for them, in our community and global world. We are relentless in our quest to nurture happy and enthusiastic learners of Music who are eager to achieve their very best

Throughout Early Years, children experience music through the specific area of Expressive Arts and Design.
The development of children’s artistic and cultural awareness supports their imagination and creativity. It is important that children have regular opportunities to engage with the arts, enabling them to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials. The quality and variety of what children see, hear and participate in is crucial for developing their understanding, self-expression, vocabulary and ability to communicate through the arts. The frequency, repetition and depth of their experiences are fundamental to their progress in interpreting and appreciating what they hear, respond to and observe.
From Listening and responding to different styles of music to Learning to sing nursery rhymes and action songs, children will be immersed in the world of understanding the world through high quality texts, continous play and directed teaching.
