--- title: "Music" url: "https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/music" school: "Holy Family Catholic Primary School" --- # Music ### Music Intent | **Statement** | |---| | *“Music education opens doors that help children pass from school into the world around them - a world of work, culture, intellectual activity, and human involvement. The future of our nation depends on providing our children with a complete education that includes music.”* Gerald R. Ford | | **Intent** | | At Holy Family, lessons are taught in a logical progression, systematically and explicitly enough for all pupils to acquire the intended knowledge and skills and build upon prior learning. Lessons follow a recognisable sequence that is pertinent to the unit of learning or topic and moves learning forward. Children develop their vocabulary, musical skills and knowledge of Music as they progress through the school. Children’s long-term memory is developed to ensure they remember the main aspects of music/ musical vocabulary for each unit of learning or topic. This will gradually increase as they progress through the school. | | **Implementation** | | Our implementation ensures full coverage of the Music National Curriculum Programme of Study. Sequenced whole Music school curriculum. Clear progression of skills to ensure challenge and support in music. Opportunities to learn skills in listening to and appraising a wide variety of different types of music, performing a wide variety of different types of music by singing and playing musical instruments, composing and transcribing music. Access to a wide range of instruments. Choral singing opportunities within the Catholic Cluster. | | **Impact** | | Progress will be evidenced in a range of ways, including pupil voice, their performances in events. Children will develop an appreciation of a wider range of musical styles. Children are confident with musical vocabulary. Children of all abilities achieve. Children see themselves as Musicians. | Music Development plan 432 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holy-family-catholic-primary-school-blackpool/files/documents/school-music-development-plan2026.pdf) Music Curriculum Map 563 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holy-family-catholic-primary-school-blackpool/files/documents/curriculum/musicmap_20230214163217831.pdf) Music Progression 460 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holy-family-catholic-primary-school-blackpool/files/documents/curriculum/music-skillsprogressionvocabulary_20230214163247829.pdf) Music Policy 157 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holy-family-catholic-primary-school-blackpool/files/documents/curriculum/musicpolicy.pdf) DfE Model Music Curriculum 1.20 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holy-family-catholic-primary-school-blackpool/files/documents/curriculum/dfemodelmusiccurriculum.pdf) ### Related News 15 September 2026 ### [We met The Duke of Edinburgh!](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/news/2026-09-15-we-met-the-duke-of-edinburgh) 7 September 2026 ### [Back to School](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/news/2026-09-07-back-to-school) 22 May 2026 ### [Grundy Art Gallery](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/news/2026-05-22-grundy-art-gallery) [View All News](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/news/tag/blackpool%252Cmusic) ### Curriculum - [Curriculum offer](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum) - [Enrichment Offer](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/holy-family-enrichment-offer) - [Religious Education](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/re-curriculum) - [English](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/english) - [Maths](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/maths) - [Science](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/science) - [Computing](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/computing) - [Art & Design](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/art-design) - [Design Technology](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/design-technology) - [Geography](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/geography) - [History](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/history) - [Music](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/music) - [PE](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/pe) - [HRSE](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/hrse) - [MFL](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/mfl) - [EYFS](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/curriculum/eyfs) ![Holy Family Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/holy-family-catholic-primary-school-blackpool/images/logo/badge2-removebg-preview_(1).png) #### Holy Family Catholic Primary School Seacrest Avenue Blackpool Lancashire FY1 2SD 01253 354496 #### Useful Links: - [Contact Us](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/contact) - [Term Dates](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/termdates) - [Newsletters](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [Policies](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/about-us/policies) #### Social Media - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/BlackpoolHolyFamily/) © Copyright 2024–2026 Holy Family Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://holy-family.blackpool.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
