At Ghyll Royd the children are encouraged to explore their interests and develop their talents through the creative arts.
We have a very strong music department and the children are taught the National Curriculum using the Music Express series, beyond this they are given many opportunities to perform in plays, musicals, services and concerts.
Our dynamic music teacher is supported by three outstanding peripatetic teachers for brass, guitar/drums and piano/singing. All children learn to play the recorder in Form 2. Concerts take place during the year drawing out hidden talents in acting and solo singing as well as highlighting the musical achievements of all the children. Recent Productions Foundation Stage and KS1 2007 - Are We nearly There Yet? 2008 - Tinsel and Tea Towels 2009 - Jesus' Christmas party Key Stage 2 2007 - Red Riding Hat 2008 - Hoodwinked 2009 - Wind in the Willows
Staff work hard to make the school a colourful and stimulating environment for the children to learn and displays are used to recognise and celebrate their work and achievements. Art and CDT play an important part in the themed topics covered in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 and the more senior children enjoy specialist teaching. The creative arts are further enhanced through the extra curricular programme we offer and pupils can enjoy a variety of music, drama and art activities. |
