Music

The information on this page relates to Axminster's provision for National Curriculum Music.

Axminster is committed to providing an enriched Arts education for all pupils and to embed Music into the wider Arts and National Curriculum based topics.

Music for every child

Every child at Axmisnter Primary Academy engages in quality music education from their entry into Nursery until the end of KS2 in Year 6.  In the early Years, music is incorporated consistently into daily routines and is used to enhance teaching of the core curriculum in addition to being taught as a stand-alone subject.  In KS1 and KS2, pupils participate in weekly music assemblies and a one hour curriculum music lesson with a Music specialist teacher.
