Music at Sutton Valence Primary School

At Sutton Valence Primary School, we follow Sing Up Music. Sing Up Music provides primary schools with a solid foundation to deliver a creative and engaging programme of high-quality classroom music activity. Designed and written by subject specialists, it sets out the skills, knowledge, and understanding to be gained by all pupils at each stage of learning, including the Early Years Foundation Stage. Sing Up's music curriculum, with a scheme of work for each year group from Nursery to Year 6, represents a complete and progressive library of resources that meets the requirements of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (Expressive Arts), the National Curriculum for Music, and suggested approaches of the Model Music Curriculum (Singing, Listening, Composing, Performance/Instrumental Performance).

Covering a broad and diverse range of repertoire, approaches, and musical traditions, Sing Up Music supports a fully-integrated approach to musical development, connecting the interrelated strands of singing, playing, improvising, composing, listening, and appraising. With long-term and detailed lesson-by-lesson planning, plus classroom-ready presentations and all music teaching materials included, Sing Up Music has been created for all primary teachers - generalist and specialist teachers of music.
