Music at Highfield
Music is a cornerstone of the broad and balanced education that every child should receive. It touches hearts and minds, it celebrates and challenges, and it connects us and moves us. In the same way that we teach children literacy and numeracy to prepare them for adult life, we must also give them the musical tools they need for a lifetime of music-making and enjoyment. For some, music will be the foundation of a career in one of the country’s most important and globally-recognised industries. For others, it will provide experiences and skills which develop their creativity. For many, music will simply be a source of joy, comfort and companionship throughout their lives.
At Highfield Community Primary School, we are committed to providing a vibrant and inclusive music education that aligns with the DfE’s National Plan for Music Education. Our music development plan ensures that every child—from EYFS through Year 6—has the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of music through a rich curriculum, co-curricular activities, and diverse musical experiences.
