Our music curriculum is designed to nurture creativity, self-expression, and a lifelong appreciation of music. Through the use of the **Sing Up** music scheme, we provide a high-quality, progressive, and inclusive musical experience for all pupils. Our intent is to: - **Inspire joy and confidence** in music-making through singing, movement, and instrumental play. - **Deliver a broad and balanced curriculum** that builds musical knowledge and skills in line with the National Curriculum, using Sing Up’s structured and engaging resources. - **Support children’s vocal development**, encouraging expressive and tuneful singing through regular practice and performance opportunities. - **Introduce children to a wide range of musical styles and cultures**, fostering respect and curiosity for global musical traditions. - **Promote creativity and collaboration**, enabling children to compose, improvise, and perform both individually and as part of a group. - **Ensure accessibility and inclusion**, so that every child, regardless of background or ability, can participate fully and find success in music. - **Celebrate achievement and progress**, through assemblies, performances, and cross-curricular links that highlight music’s role in the wider school community. By embedding music into the life of our school and using the Sing Up scheme to support high-quality teaching and learning, we aim to develop confident, expressive, and musically aware children who are well-prepared for their continued musical journey beyond our school. ### Curriculum Overview brilliant-music-curriculum-overview 419 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/brilliant-music-curriculum-overview.pdf) ### Progression Maps brilliant-listeners-and-appraisers-progression-map 824 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/brilliant-listeners-and-appraisers-progression-map.pdf) brilliant-singers-and-instrumentalists-progression-map 3.18 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/brilliant-singers-and-instrumentalists-progression-map.pdf) brilliant-improvisers-and-composers-progression-map 2.70 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/brilliant-improvisers-and-composers-progression-map.pdf) ### Knowledge Organisers Year 1 Music Knowledge Organiser - Summer Term - Come dance with me 1.41 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/sum_ko_come_dance_with_me.pdf) Year 1 Music Knowledge Organiser - Spring Term - Football 1.67 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/sum_ko_football.pdf) Year 2 Music Knowledge Organiser - Spring Term - Grandma rap 901 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/sum_ko_grandma_rap__1.pdf) Year 1 Music Knowledge Organiser - Autumn Term - Menu Song 1.32 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/sum_ko_menu_song.pdf) Year 2 Music Knowledge Organiser - Summer Term - Tanczymy labada 2.43 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/sum_ko_tanczymy_labada.pdf) Year 2 Music Knowledge Organiser - Autumn Term - Tony chestnut 2.20 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/sum_ko_tony_chestnut.pdf) ### Music Development Plan music-development-plan-2026 77 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/files/documents/music-development-plan-2026.pdf) ### Learning - [Curriculum ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/curriculum) - [Promoting British Values ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/promoting-british-values) - [Home Learning Zone ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/home-learning-zone) - [Learning Critters ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/learning-critters) - [Learning Videos ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/learning-videos) - [E-Safety ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/e-safety) - [SEND & Inclusion ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/send-inclusion) - [Pupil Premium ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/pupil-premium) - [Rewards ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/rewards) - [PE Grant ](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/pe-grant) ![Upton Infant School](https://files.schudio.com/upton-infant-school/images/logo/footer.png) ### Upton Infant School Guest Road Upton, Poole Dorset BH16 5LQ 01202 622367 ### Useful Links - [Welcome](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/welcome) - [Admissions](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/admissions) - [Policies](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/policies) - [SEND](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/send-inclusion) ### Helpful Links - [Who’s Who](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/who-s-who) - [Governors](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/governors) - [Curriculum](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/curriculum) - [Ofsted Report](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/ofsted-report) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/uptoninfantschool/) - [X](https://twitter.com/UptonInfant) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/uptoninfantschool/videos) © Copyright 2025–2026 Upton Infant School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://uptoninf.dorset.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
