Hello and welcome to the MUSIC page!
Here you will find lots of information regarding the music curriculum at Newport Junior School. Music is a valuable skill for children and taught through different topics. The knowledge gained will support children as they move their way through our school and even into secondary school.
Please find attached some documents you may find useful:

Here at NJS the children experience music in a variety of ways:
- Through interactive music lessons.
- Through singing assemblies and worship time as a whole school family or within classrooms.
- Rocksteady lessons – children can sign up for these lessons where they become a band and perform 3 concerts a year.
- Individual/Small group lessons – Through Telford and Wrekin, we currently have children enrolled in Violin, Keyboard and Drum lessons.
- A school choir who attend many events across the academic year including my personal favourite… Young Voices!
- And so much more!
