Music

At St Chad's RC Primary School, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to develop their musical potential and we aim to encourage this by providing a variety of quality musical opportunities that will engage and inspire them to develop a love of music and to help them develop new talents as musicians. As children progress they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and listen with enjoyment and discrimination to a wide variety of music from many different cultures and traditions. Allowing children to express themselves and be creative with music builds self-confidence and allows them to feel a sense of achievement. We also believe that music feeds the soul of our school community and we use it to enhance our own prayer and worship time, enriching each child whilst strengthening the bonds of support and trust which make our school great!

Diocese of Salford - National Schools Singing Programme 

• Year 3 and Year 4 are participating in the Diocese of Salford Schools Singing Programme. This project allows opportunities for pupils to participate in additional performances within the Diocese, Parish, and local area.

• Weekly sessions take place during the normal school day and are tailored to suit each class. They include music for school liturgies blended with interactive music, education games and secular repertoire. Classes support the National Curriculum and enhance education attainment and progression. Sacred content nurtures children’s faith and flows into the worshipping life of the school and parish. Choral Directors liaise with schools to ensure sessions provide music for schools’ collective worship.
