Music Student Views

Children and young people can offer unique perspectives on what it is like to be a student at their school. At Boldon School, we value the views of our students, involving them in decision-making, helping to shape our curriculum, as well as facilitating a sense of empowerment and inclusion.

We have a whole-school commitment to listening to the views, wishes and experiences of all children and young people. It means placing value on what children and young people tell school staff about their experiences. This is of particular importance across each subject area. We try to promote meaningful opportunities to share their experiences, views and hopes about their school. To build a safe environment, better relationships across the whole school community and empower students with the knowledge that what they say is valued and will be listened to and considered.

We are proud to hear their views about our curriculum, teachers and the learning environment we create:

I seriously enjoy music because I enjoy pushing myself as far as I can with my music ability. I have always wanted to play music and now I practice night and day!

I like the creativity and the different types of music we play.

Oscar

Year 8

I enjoy Music because there’s a lot more to it than just playing. The theory aspect is really intriguing and in-depth.

Ben

Year 9

I really like that it is a really modern course just like the Music Industry. We get to do a wide range of musical activities from Music technology and studio recording through to learning any instrument we want.

Riley

Year 10

I really enjoy music lessons because they calm me down and allow me to relax whilst having fun and learning at the same time. The lessons drive me to do well at something I like, which is playing songs.
