We are extremely proud and privileged to hold a gold Artsmark Award in recognition of our Arts and Music Education . We have developed a number of partnerships with cultural hubs to enhance our provision.

We have been awarded Music Mark as recognition of a willingness to engage in development conversations related to improving music provision. We are recognised for the value of music education as part of a broad and balanced curriculum and have a strategy for music in place which provides for all children.

We buy into the top level Service Level Agreement provided by North Tyneside LEA, working closely with North Tyneside Music Education Hub and their specialists to provide the best music education to our pupils.

We annually take part in performances at The Sage Gateshead, in a mass choir. It is such a spectacular experience for our pupils.

We also get our rock on with Rocksteady Music School. All KS2 are invited to join rock band as an enhancement to their music provision and to promote emotional well-being.

At Hadrian Park, all children participate in musical activities that develop their expressive and evaluative skills. We want children to gain pleasure from music whilst developing a deeper understanding of how it was created. We achieve this by…

Listening and Appraising

Children listen to and explore music produced by others and themselves.

They express their ideas and feelings about music and consider its intended effects.

Playing and Performing

Children learn to use their voice expressively and move onto singing in a range of styles and forms. They play a range of tuned and un-tuned instruments and take part in performances for a wide range of audiences.

Creating and Composing

Children create a variety of music through improvisation and composition, they use their voices and instruments.
