Plaistow Primary School

Music and Performing Arts

Through our music and performing arts curriculum, Plaistow Primary engages and inspires pupils to develop a love of music, performance and their talents as musicians.

Our quality teaching is integral in the development of self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. We provide our pupils with ample opportunity to develop their critical engagement with music, singing, dance and acting, by performing, composing and analysing a plethora of genres from a variety of social, historical and cultural settings. 

 

Pupils at Plaistow Primary take great joy in their arts education and many develop aspirations for the pursuit of music mastery in further education. Pupils and teachers alike understand how music has enriched society throughout the ages and how it brings communities together today. 

As a school we work closely with The Newham Music Hub which equips us with quality instruments and tutors as well as opportunities to perform with other budding musicians. All children in Years 4 and 5 currently receive weekly violin lessons through the Hub. Students are also provided with the opportunity to join E13 Orchestra as well as specialist instrumental tuition after school.

Our music and performing arts curriculum is a bespoke design incorporating and expanding on that of the National Curriculums Music programme of study. We strive to expose the students to a high quality of music that reflects excellence and diversity.
