“Inspiring a love of learning”
Purpose of study - music ‘Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to the best
in the musical canon.’
Oliver Goldsmith Primary School
“Inspiring a love of learning”
Aims The national curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:
• perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians
• learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others
• have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument • use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the
next level of musical excellence • understand and explore how music is created, produced and
communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

Pupil Voice Children have had a chance to reflect on cultural experiences, either when they have been to a performance or appeared in one. Here are just a few of their thoughts and comments:
“ [The arts are] important because you get to discover new things and show what’s in your mind.”
“My favourite part of the experience is when it was my turn to shine.”
“It made me feel excited and special because I love acting and I had a chance to perform in front of an audience.”
“At first I felt nervous but then I felt more brave every second.”
“I’ve learnt no matter what goes wrong keep trying.”
“It’s going to be hard work.” (Magpie Manor Musical)
“[My favourite part was] hearing the orchestra because it was almost like magic the way they played in time.”
“It made me feel good and happy because I heard so much beautiful singing.” (Handel Opera Visit)

Staff Training
We have undertaken a programme of staff training in all areas of the Creative Arts this academic year with good success.
To date, we have covered music, dance, art and display.
We are hoping to run staff training on drama before the end of the academic year with the drama specialist who runs our drama club.
Oliver Goldsmith Primary School
“Inspiring a love of learning”
Purpose of study - drama ‘The national curriculum for English reflects the importance of spoken
language in pupils’ development across the whole curriculum – cognitively, socially and linguistically. Spoken language underpins the
development of reading and writing. The quality and variety of language that pupils hear and speak are vital for developing their vocabulary and grammar and their understanding for reading and
writing.’
Oliver Goldsmith Primary School
“Inspiring a love of learning”
‘All pupils should be enabled to participate in and gain knowledge, skills and understanding associated with the artistic practice of drama.
Pupils should be able to adopt, create and sustain a range of roles, responding appropriately to others in role. They should have
opportunities to improvise, devise and script drama for one another and a range of audiences, as well as to rehearse, refine, share and
respond thoughtfully to drama and theatre performances. ‘
Oliver Goldsmith Primary School
“Inspiring a love of learning”
Drama and performance is taught to all children through the Year group annual assemblies (Reception to Year 6). The quality of these
reflects the confidence built up in the children from a very young age and provides a strong foundation for us to be able to stage our
excellent live performances both in and out of school. The primary way we weave drama into learning throughout the year is
through work we do in English lessons be it role-play, hot seating, writing play scripts and acting them out in groups, freeze framing
scenes in texts, setting up dramatic opportunities, for example Year 1 and the police scene-of-crime lesson linked to Little Red Riding Hood.
Oliver Goldsmith Primary School

We provide two out-of-hours drama clubs – one for Infants and one for Juniors. These are run by specialist teachers from ‘Fresh Arts’ – a
collaboration developed from previous work with the lady who owns this company.
The clubs are very popular, particularly the Infant club which boasts 31 children amongst its ranks this term!
Both clubs will perform in our Performing Arts concert in July, with the Junior Drama club children writing their own mini-play.

How you can support your child/children at home:
Oliver Goldsmith Primary School
“Inspiring a love of learning”
• Talk about what they are doing in school. • Attend any concert/assembly/performance they take part in. • Allow them to learn by making mistakes and taking risks;
creative arts are personal and subjective. • Value their efforts! • Encourage your child to practise regularly • Support your child if they have a musical commitment at
school – choir, ensemble, musical cast, instrumental lessons • Make use of family friendly musical and cultural events
