Music
At Heritage music plays an important role and helps to implement the schools core values of pride, ambition and aspiration. This is implemented through the work done with pupils in lessons and during extra-curricular sessions. Music has proven to improve pupils’ mental health and wellbeing as well as helping pupils build confidence and resilience through the correct guidance and experiences. In music we have a well-resourced classroom with several instruments, such as keyboards, drum and guitars. We have 3 practice rooms for pupils to use in lesson and during extra-curricular clubs. My aim for all pupils whether they leave the subject during KS3 or KS4 with an appreciation and understanding of the subject, as well as being able to make use of the many transferable skills taught within music, such as teamwork, resilience, determination, collaboration and problem solving. Pupils who choose to pursue the subject further should hope to leave with an understanding of different music genres, how to improve as a musician, the ability to self-reflect and a good knowledge of the creative industries.
