Because we understand the importance of widening our children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural experiences (UNICEF A31), we use a radio station to expose them to a wide range of music genres.
Each week pupils listen to a selected artist/band/musician at lunchtime through our radio station. The music is piped into the school hall and onto the playground. Class teachers explain to children who the artist is and from which time period it comes. Then in our celebration assembly we discuss what the children thought of the music.
Year 6 pupils are interviewed for the position of resident DJ each year. They introduce tracks and share interesting facts about the chosen music.
