Music
Statement of Intent
At Parkdale, our Music Curriculum aims to provide engaging opportunities for children to develop of love for music and become confident and creative musicians. Through Music, our children can explore their creativity, increase their self-confidence and also develop a sense of achievement when they have produced their very own music!

Virtual Choir: Proud

It was important for us to continue to enjoy singing and find an opportunity to come together and celebrate our efforts and achievements during a challenging time.
