Singing Programme
We are proud to be part of the Diocese of Leeds School Singing Programme.
Class 5 receives weekly singing sessions delivered by an expert Choral Director from the Diocese, focusing on positive engagement with singing and supporting the Catholic life of the school through sacred music. The sessions offer practical and incremental coverage of areas of the music curriculum - including notation - in a two-year curriculum framework developed by the Diocese, the National Schools Singing Programme and the National Youth Choir of Scotland.
Reading Raffle
This is where we check Reading Records weekly to ensure children have been heard read at least 3 times a week by an adult at home, children are then rewarded with dojos and a Reading Raffle ticket which gives them a chance to win a book of their choice when we draw the raffle at the end of term.
