Here's our amazing school choir filmed by Place2be for the Annual Lord Mayor's Appeal fundraising event. The choir practised very hard, and have produced a moving and fun performance of "When I Grow Up from Matilda the musical.

 

At Chalkhill Primary School, we teach children that music is a universal language, covering all areas of the music curriculum, helping them to grow in confidence, acquire hobbies, express their feelings and develop positive well-being. 

We enrich a love of music, developing a wide range of transferable musical skills and experiences through listening, composition and performance. Each child is given the opportunity to take part in a variety of musical activities including singing and learn a range of musical instruments. Each class receive weekly music lessons by our experienced music specialist, supported by enthusiastic teachers and support staff. Weekly singing assemblies are delivered to each key stage and peripatetic music tutors provide bespoke instrumental lessons in a variety of instruments. Music clubs such as school choir, boys’ choir, Steel Pan club and school orchestra are held throughout the school year to provide extra-curricular activities.  

We are a Gold Sing Up school and in 2017, Challenge Partners recognised our music department as an area of excellence.  We have pupil success in achieving ABRSM grades in trumpet, piano, guitar, violin and flute and some of our students have been awarded the Brent London Scholarship for Music. Our school choir won the Brent Choir of the Year competition in June, 2019 and performed at the Wembley Winterfest Christmas light switch on in 2021. 

Through high expectations and performance opportunities, pupils excel in music and achieve finery, validated by our awards. We strongly believe that understanding and communication through music provides pupils with a rich foundation that will give them access to unlimited opportunities through life.
