Horton Park Music Development Plan 2024-25

Horton Park utilises Charanga’s Musical School Scheme, which supports all the requirements of the National Curriculum – providing a wide range of experiences through exposure to a variety of genres of music, an integrated, practical, exploratory and child-led approach to musical learning.

The interrelated dimensions of music weave through the units to encourage the development of musical skills as the learning progresses through our core strands:

1. Listening and appraising
2. Singing
3. Playing
4. Improvising
5. Composition
6. Performance

Charanga Musical School units of work enable children to understand musical concepts and vocabulary through a repetition-based approach to learning to enable the mastery of musical skills. The music at Horton Park is interrelated and strands are built upon learning from Year 1 to Year 6. Over time, children can both develop new musical skills and concepts, and re-visit these throughout their journey at Horton Park.
