We aim to create the very best musicians. As a department we firmly believe that Music is a potential in every individual that, like all potential, should be developed to its fullest. Music provides an outlet for creativity, self-expression, and individual uniqueness. It enables us to express our thoughts and feelings and teaches students about unique aspects of their relationships with other human beings and with the world around them, in their own and other cultures.

We do this through quality first teaching which challenges our students throughout all Key Stages to not only understand different styles and genres of music but requires them to explore, discuss and demonstrate this understanding in creative ways. They are challenged in all lessons to be able to demonstrate understanding and creativity through performance, composition, through collaboration with their peers, and through evaluation of their own work. Developing the confidence of our students is another vital part of our curriculum and students are frequently challenged to perform their ideas to each other whilst being encouraged to evaluate the success of these performances.

We offer an extensive extra-curricular programme both at lunch time and after school giving pupils the opportunity to take part in a range of different activities and ensembles. These include Choirs, Orchestra, Ukulele Club, and Music Tech Club.

We also offer the opportunity to take part in Instrumental lessons, which are run by visiting tutors from Sefton Music Hub (Sky Hub).
