Music is an important part of the curriculum and school life at Southborough Church of England Primary School. In addition to weekly class based music lessons, involving composing, performing, listening and appraising, musical activities take on a variety of guises throughout the school. See below for examples of the fantastic music opportunities and latest performances....
The Summer term has been hugely exciting musically. We now boast 8 (free of charge) music clubs: Year 1 Choir, Years 2-3 Choir, Years 4-6 Choir, Chamber Choir, Orchestra club, Glockenspiel club, Arts Ambassadors and a brand new staff choir!
In June, our years 4-6 choir and Chamber choir performed at the 'Tunbridge Wells Primary Schools' Singing Festival' at the Assembly Hall Theatre. They sang a wide range of repertoire alongside the other schools and performed with a live Orchestra that featured our very own Mrs Hughes on french horn! Their solo own choice song of 'Revolting Children' from the musical Matilda was a highlight of the night!
In July we had our much anticipated year 6 musical. This year it was 'Honk', the musical story of the ugly duckling. The cast of 90 did an outstanding job making the audience both laugh out loud at the comedy but also cry at the emotional scenes. The standing ovation at the end said it all. See below for production pics!
As always we had our end of term music recitals for the various music clubs to show off the talent and hard work of our students this term.

In addition to their class music lessons, students get a weekly singing assembly (collective worship) and the opportunity to take 1:1 and or group instrumental lessons as well as the opportunity to join one of our fantastic music clubs.
Year 3 are all learning to play the guitar this year and are having lessons with our fantastic guitar teacher Henry from ‘Rock and Pop.’
We continue to put on music concerts at the end of terms 2, 4 and 6. There are Christmas shows as well as the much-anticipated year 6 production at the end of the summer term.
