At our school we enjoy music in many different forms and understand that music is a common language for all, this is what makes it so accessible. We are proud to be a Music Mark School where we aim to provide high quality music education to our children. |

Holy Trinity Choir Voices Together
Mrs Huby runs our choir of Key Stage 2 children. They sing at external events and they are part of our school church services across the year.
We not only sound great, but look the part too in our very impressive sparkly t-shirts.

Class teachers deliver music following the National Curriculum. Children are encouraged to develop skills through the use our Jolly Music scheme where they use their voices to sing and chant, play tunes and untuned percussion, listen and respond to different types of music and experiment making sounds.
Music in Key Stage 2
We work very closely with Calderdale Music who deliver the music curriculum alongside classroom instrumental lessons.
- Year 3 – Recorder
- Year 4 – Glockenspiel
- Year 5 – Ukelele
- Year 6 – Flutes
We aim for children to be confident in using musical vocabulary, sing and perform instruments with control and expression, develop the skills in improvisation and composition and discuss musical features from a variety of geographical and historical origins.
The following key areas which, when taken together, all contribute towards the steadily increasing development of musicianship:
- Singing
- Listening
- Composing
- Performing/Instrumental Performance
Please see our Music development plan summary for more information about how Music is promoted across the school.

“Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.” John Denver |
