At our school, we are proud to use Charanga, a world-leading digital provider, to deliver a modern and engaging music curriculum. This award-winning platform ensures that our pupils experience a diverse range of musical styles—from classical and jazz to hip-hop and pop—while developing a deep understanding of the core elements of music. Each lesson is designed to be interactive and inclusive, allowing children to explore rhythm, melody, and composition through digital resources and hands-on instrumental practice.

Why we use Charanga

By following the Charanga Musical School scheme, we provide a clear path of progression from Reception through to Year 6. The curriculum focuses on several key areas:

• Listening and Appraising: Developing an ear for detail and an appreciation for music history.

• Musical Activities: Engaging in games, singing, and playing classroom instruments like glockenspiels and recorders.

• Creating and Exploring: Using digital tools and improvisation to compose original pieces of music.

• Performing: Building confidence by sharing what they have learned with their peers and the wider school community.

This approach ensures that every child, regardless of their starting point, can find their "musical voice" and develop a lifelong love for the arts.
