Music Tuition

We have a wide range of music tuition available to pupils in Key Stage 2.

Class Music Tuition

We're delighted to be able to deliver whole class music tuition through the County Music Service.  

This year, all our Year 5 children have whole class Violin Tuition with Mrs Jones from the County Music Service and all our Year 3 children have whole class Clarinet Tuition with Mr Kershaw. The children have already performed twice in music assemblies to the whole school.

We are delighted to have secured funding for this initiative again, so there is no cost to the parents. The children will have the free loan of the Violin or Clarinet for the year, and weekly class lessons.

In addition, we are thrilled this funding will also cover Mrs Johnson continuing to deliver specialist music curriculum teaching for 2 days a week next year for all year groups (except those classes receiving instrument tuition).
