Overview
Music is a practical and expressive subject that builds on pupils’ previous experiences. The course aims to ignite curiosity and a passion for music, developing imagination, creativity, skills, and knowledge. Lessons also support the growth of self-esteem and self-discipline, helping pupils achieve higher standards across the curriculum.
All pupils have access to a rich and varied programme of extracurricular activities, both within school and in the wider community. Music at King Ecgbert School emphasises active learning, enjoyment, collaboration, and self-expression, while remaining fully inclusive for all pupils.
