‘Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything’ – Plato

 At Darwen St James, we recognise the positive impact of creativity on our lives. It enables personal growth, confidence and well-being. Music plays an enormous part in the life of our school, from everyday singing in worship, MFL and phonics lessons, to celebrations across the whole school and local communities at Harvest Festival and Christmas, Easter and in the year 6 Leavers’ performance.

Our Music development Plan provides a summary of how our school delivers music education to all our pupils across three areas – curriculum music, co-curricular provision and musical experiences – and what changes we are planning in future years.
