Music is celebrated at every opportunity to help the children begin their musical journey, this is embedded using daily routine songs, opportunities for rhyme time, singing, dancing and exploring a range of sound makers.

The children continue to show a love of music in the continuous provision, where they often like to perform and share their music with others. Charanga also plays a weekly role in developing pupils' musical knowledge exposing them to a variety of musical genres.

SEND Provision
SEND Provision in Music:
At St Stephen Churchtown Academy, the provision on offer for our SEN students in music reflects the intent of the subject itself. Our students, regardless of need, are encouraged to develop their musical knowledge encouraging them to listen to a variety of musical genres.
Specific provisions for SEN children include:
- A safe space which encourages open discussion on the concepts being taught and provides the environment needed to take risks for new learning.
- The use of floor books within our lessons to evidence learning and encourage participation from all students. In this way, children who may not flourish in some areas of the curriculum feel secure enough to vocalise their learning during the practical aspects of the lessons, demonstrating good understanding in a way they would otherwise not be able to.
- Adult support when and as needed.
- Work can be differentiated based on the needs of the student, scaffolded in a way that makes it accessible to their individual learning need.
- Up to date working walls that the children can access easily. E.g. removable vocabulary cards.
- Adapted tools and equipment.
