Music 2023 - 2024
“Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.” - Pablo Casalas
At Boundary Primary School, we recognise that music is a universal language that embodies the highest forms of creativity. Our music curriculum is designed to ignite a passion and love of music. All pupils will develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose within, and to listen with discrimination to, a wide range of musical genres.
We offer a range of musical experiences to our pupils, including Wider Opportunities Samba Drumming in Year 3, Choir and Singing groups, peripatetic lessons for Drumming and Guitar and lots of opportunities to sing in Assemblies and for the wider community.

We are incredibly proud to be a Music Mark School. This was awarded for our:
- recognition of the value of music education as part of a broad and balanced curriculum
- strategy for music which provides for all children
- willingness to engage in development conversations related to improving music provision
