Music

Gordon Primary School actively promotes high-quality Music education for all children; the efforts to seek enrichment opportunities aim to be recognised through the achievement of the Music Mark award; the commitment to the arts is reflected in the school’s drive towards Artsmark. Music is a unique form of communication; a universal language that can enrich our lives: music can inspire and motivate; it is capable of raising the spirits, reducing stress and building imagination and empathy.

Music is a unique form of personal expression and it can play an important part in the personal development of an individual. It reflects our culture and society and, as such, the teaching and learning of music enables children to better understand the world they live in. Besides being a creative and enjoyable activity, Music can be a highly academic and demanding subject with many acknowledged benefits.

We hope that the information in these pages, alongside the work we continue to share across the site, provides you with an insight into the learning opportunities, events and projects taking place in our school. We hope that this site provides parents with useful information and support that will aid home learning and encourage families to engage with the creative arts.
