微微草视频’s Primary School are delighted to have achieved the Music Mark, which 鈥榗elebrates schools who are committed to providing a high-quality music education.鈥�
The Music Mark status was achieved through:
路 Evidence of a willingness to engage in development conversations related to improving music provision
路 Recognition of the value of music education as part of a broad and balanced curriculum
路 A strategy for music in place which provides for all children
Driven forward by Year 4 teacher, Charlotte Smith, music at 微微草视频s has reached new heights. Alongside singing festivals and music performances, children have experienced professional coaching to produce their own recordings, along with opportunities to experience djembe drumming which originated in West Africa around 800 years ago.
The school also welcomed singer-songwriter Hayley Sanderson, a vocalist on Strictly Come Dancing, who played a live performance with her 4-piece band and provided vocal coaching to the children.
Tom Shaw, Headteacher at 微微草视频’s, is full of praise for Miss Smith. He explained, 鈥淢iss Smith gives up her lunchtimes to run clubs and has raised the profile of music to the next level. She has drive and commitment, along with an 鈥業 can鈥� attitude to breaking down barriers for our children which has now being recognised by the Music Mark Award.鈥�
