RE:

The personal development of pupils and the establishment of healthy attitudes of mind are important features of the primary years, and the aim of the school is to foster caring relationships between the adults and the children, and among the children themselves. The aims of Religious Education and the Programme of Study are those set out in the West Sussex Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. School Assemblies and Religious Education lessons provide excellent opportunities to think together about worthwhile values and the spiritual and cultural heritage within which the children are growing up. They help to develop in the children a sense of personal responsibility, understanding and tolerance of others and a positive attitude towards playing a full part in the life of the school community. If parents wish to withdraw their child from Religious Education, they should contact the Headteacher.

MUSIC:

In music, the emphasis is on children enjoying music. A practical approach involving the use of tuned and un-tuned percussion instruments is adopted to compose songs, tunes and accompaniments. Children listen to music and learn a wide range of songs, including traditional and modern arrangements. The use of new technologies is also being developed to promote both skills in composition and the children’s ability to read music. Ukulele tuition is available for children as they move through school. Year 2 visit Chichester Theatre for the Children’s Concert. Year 4 have a term to learn cornets. For Y2 and Y5/6 this year. If your child does wish to learn to play an instrument other than the Ukulele, you will need to contact West Sussex music service, who do make a charge. Children become composers and musicians.
