Music

At Goodrich, we believe that Music:

  • builds a sense of community
  • encourages positive behaviour for learning
  • boosts children and young people’s social development
  • fosters team work
  • builds life skills

From Nursery to Year 6, all children at Goodrich take part in a weekly music lesson with a peripatetic music specialist from Southwark Music Services. This teacher delivers a comprehensive music curriculum. 

All KS1 and KS2 children attend a music assembly on a fortnightly basis. This assembly gives children the opportunity to enjoy and discuss music from a range of genres. Children are given the chance to perform at these assemblies. 

Children also have the opportunity to participate in instrumental clubs and school choirs.
