Huxley Primary SchoolMusic
At Huxley, we follow the Charanga Music programme to build skills as children progress through school. We also access Edsential music services to do brass lessons
The children access an hour a week music (flexi on rotation-see curriculum mapping document on main curriculum page)
As well as the music curriclum lessons, we really enjoy singing at Huxley and every Thursday we have Worship through Song.
We also enjoy performing and each year we hold Huxley's Got Talent show as well as our Nativity, Easter and Harvest events. The Year 6's take part in a special film at the end of the school year too.

Charanga Musical School Curriculum Overview
The Charanga Musical School Scheme provides teachers with week-by-week lesson support for each year group in the school. It provides lesson plans, assessment, clear progression, and engaging and exciting whiteboard resources to support every lesson. The Scheme supports all the requirements of the national curriculum.
In line with the curriculum for music and additional guidance, this Scheme moves away from the previous levels and learning objective/outcome concepts to an integrated, practical, exploratory and child-led approach to musical learning.
How the scheme is structured
Each Unit of Work focuses on the strands of musical learning which correspond with the national curriculum for music:
- Listening and Appraising
- Musical Activities
- Warm-up Games
- Optional Flexible Games
- Singing
- Playing instruments
- Improvisation
- Composition
- Performing
Mastery in your Music Lessons
Charanga Musical School Units of Work enable children to understand musical concepts through a repetition-based approach to learning. Learning about the same musical concept through different musical activities enables a more secure, deeper learning and mastery of musical skills. The teacher, is able to plan and provide the opportunity to embed a deeper learning, knowledge, understanding and skills.
