--- title: "Music" url: "https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/music-curriculum" school: "St. Joseph's Catholic Primary" --- # Music St. Joseph’s uses the Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust Music Transition Unit from Years 1-6. These carefully planned units ensure that our pupils are ready to access the KS3 Music curriculum once they enter secondary school. Our intent is that every pupil is a musician, developing as a performer, singer and composer; with the ability to listen and to critically analyse music. The National Curriculum is at the heart of the document, developing incremental improvement lesson by lesson and building on the ambition of the Model Music Curriculum. Although our Music curriculum is planned from Year 1, it begins in EYFS with Being Imaginative and Expressive. Pupils will learn how to sing a range of well known nursery rhymes and songs as well as how to perform songs and rhymes trying to move in time with music Music Curriculum Rationale 60 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-jarrow/files/documents/Music_Curriculum_rationale.pdf) Music Curriculum Narrative 279 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-jarrow/files/documents/Music-Curriculum-Narrative.pdf) Music Curriculum Overview 414 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-jarrow/files/documents/Music-Overview.pdf) ### Our Music Development Plan St Joseph-s school music development plan 2025 54 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-jarrow/files/documents/St_Joseph-s_school_music_development_plan_2025.pdf) ### Our Curriculum - [Curriculum Overview](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-statement) - [Curriculum Subjects](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject) - [Art](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/art-curriculum) - [Computing](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/computing-curriculum) - [Design & Technology](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/design-technology-curriculum) - [English](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/english-curriculum) - [EYFS](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/reception-curriculum) - [Geography](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/geography-curriculum) - [History](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/history-curriculum) - [Maths](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/maths-curriculum) - [MFL](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/mfl-curriculum) - [Music](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/music-curriculum) - [PE](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/pe-curriculum) - [RE](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/religious-education-curriculum) - [RSHE](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/rshe-curriculum) - [Science](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/curriculum-subject/science-curriculum) - [Reading & Phonics ](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/reading-phonics) - [Remote Education ](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/our-curriculum/remote-education) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-jarrow/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02(2).png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary St. Joseph's Way Jarrow NE32 4PJ 0191 536 4311 ### Trust Information - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms/) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement/) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stjosephsja) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjosephsjarrow.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
