IMPACT – How do we know?

Throughout the child’s journey at OBN, their musical skills and understanding are built year on year. From singing nursery rhymes and action songs from memory, performing simple rhythm patterns on tuned and untuned percussion instruments in Early Year. Children progress their skills and understanding in KS1. They further develop their skills and knowledge of the subject in throughout KS2, where the children access music confidently, and have the ability to read and follow a simple musical or graphical score. Throughout all of this the child’s enjoyment of music is a key element, running alongside the ‘taught’ musical skills and objectives.
