ARTS

The Academy offers opportunities for creative self-expression and involvement at every level. Arts can have a profoundly positive impact on pupils’ emotional well-being, encouraging them to develop vital soft skills. Our Arts curriculum provides an excellent outlet for pupils to explore the issues that affect them on a day-to-day basis, through song, dance and drama.

We are one of only 2 schools in Bradford taking part in the ‘Band On The Run’ project, where pupils in Year 4 benefit from a 10-week block of music lessons where they will learn to play instruments such as the trombone, trumpet, saxophone and clarinet. 

Following the 10 week block of lessons pupils have the opportunity to continue with their music lessons in smaller groups and we work in partnership with Bradford Music Services who deliver our music lessons. There is a small termly charge for continuation lessons, however this is significantly reduced due to our commitment to the ‘Band On The Run’ project.  If you would like to discuss music lessons for your child please contact the school office.

Through our arts curriculum, pupils are encouraged to connect with their audience, inspiring them to feel and challenging them to think. They also become well-versed in conveying their messages through verbal and non-verbal communication, whilst considering how their work can be perceived from a variety of different perspectives. All of these skills are vital in laying the groundwork for pupils to become the leaders of tomorrow.
