DUCKS MUSIC POLICY
Music plays an integral role in the life of the school. At DUCKS we believe it is important to provide an inclusive, dynamic and active music programme. Students are given many opportunities to participate in musical activities, as individuals, as a whole class, as a key-stage level and as a whole school.
In our planning and teaching of Music, we remain mindful of the College’s Philosophy and Objectives.
