The Music Curriculum at Lindley CE Infant School
Music Curriculum Intent
At Lindley CE Infant School, our music curriculum is designed to help every child grow, learn, and shine as they develop their unique musical talents. Guided by our values of Respect, Friendship, and Trust, we provide a high-quality music education that inspires children to become the best they can be. Our curriculum is built around four "Big Ideas"—Perform, Compose, Transcribe, and Describe—ensuring that children don't just listen to music, but truly understand how it is created and shared.
These knowledge organisers outline the knowledge content of each unit.


Music Development Plan
All schools are encouraged to have a music development plan, as set out in the national plan for music education.
Schools are asked to publish a summary of their music development plan on their website in order to:
- raise awareness of their music development plan
- promote the school music offer to parents and prospective parents
- give greater opportunity for schools and music hubs to work together
Our music development plan is attached below and further information, about our music curriculum, is available on our website.
