Music
The Music curriculum is delivered through the Charanga learning platform.
The school also pays into the Doncaster Music Service so that KS2 children are given the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Where the opportunity is taken, parents are asked to make an online payment on Arbor to help with the cost of lessons. Currently we have provision for woodwind, violin and guitar lessons.
Parents are reminded that our children need to practise and make a firm commitment in order to play well.
2024/25 Lessons/Wider opportunities
Violin - Wednesday
Guitar- Monday
We also employ the service of a specialist music teacher so that all children have access to specialist music teaching (whole class ukulele and guitar lessons) at some point in the year.
Our music curriculum is further enhanced through weekly singing lessons for Years 4 and 5 as part of the National Schools Singing programme. In addition, children have the opportunity to participate in extra music sessions with Rocksteady Music School.

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) incorporating Relationships and Health Education (RHE)
- PSHE RHE Intent Implementation and Impact Statement
- PSHE RHE Curriculum
- Life to the Full Plus Pathway
- RHE Policy September 2024
We are committed to the education of the whole child, and a high quality personal development curriculum is an integral part of this. Relationships and Health Education (part of a PSHE programme) is statutory in all primary schools. Over the last two years we have been delivering this through the Life to the Full scheme from Ten Ten Resources. From October 2024, we will be providing their 'Life to the Full Plus' programme, This provides a broader personal development curriculum for our children, which is aligned with the teachings and values of the Catholic Church, and is rooted in the Catholic vision of the human person. It also fulfils all statutory requirements. The aim of this curriculum is to provide children with a deep understanding of what it means to be human, and how we are called to love and be loved. We hope that it will provide lifelong learning about physical, moral, social and emotional development. This programme is followed throughout school from Reception through to Year 6, and children are taught, in age appropriate ways. The ten key principles of the scheme are:
- Our bodies are good.
- Through our loving relationships we become close to the image and likeness of God.
- Catholic RHE is about the whole person.
- Catholic RHE is taught in partnership with parents.
- Our deepest identity is as a child of God.
- Story can change hearts and minds.
- Catholic RHE is an education in virtue.
- Catholic RHE is an education in conscience.
- Relationship Education is about striving for the Common Good.
- Prayer, Scripture and Sacraments fuel the teaching.
The programme is fully inclusive of all children and families and is designed to work in partnership with parents and carers. Once the programme commences later this term, we will provide you with a link to the Life to the Full Plus parent portal.
Year 6 Residential Visit
Towards the end of the summer term, our Year 6 pupils spend a school week in Northumberland. Accompanied by teaching staff and other adults, the children stay in a hostel and visit many places of interest in the surrounding area. The residential visit provides many cross-curricular learning experiences including history and geography, and provides an opportunity for our older children to develop a sense of spirituality.
