Confucious said, ‘Music produces a kind of pleasure, which human nature cannot do without,’ and it is this pleasure that we strive to expose our children to. At St. John’s CE Academy, we are committed to an inclusive and inspiring music education that fosters a lifelong love of music. Our curriculum celebrates diversity, promotes equality of opportunity, and ensures that every child—regardless of background or ability—can access and thrive in music. Rooted in the principles of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice (EDIJ), our music provision encourages creativity, nurtures talent, and explores music from a wide range of cultures and traditions.

We empower students to find their voice through music, building confidence, collaboration, and personal expression in a fair and welcoming environment.

Aligned with Development Matters and the Model Music Curriculum, our programme is coherent, progressive, and accessible to all. By embracing diverse musical heritages, we promote justice and representation, helping every child feel seen and valued. Music at St. John’s is not only a creative outlet, but also a powerful tool for inclusion, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.
