We have made the following comment about your submissions:

Moseley Primary is to be commended for the commitment exhibited at a senior level, to providing a range of high quality cultural and artistic opportunities for pupils attending the school. You have successfully engaged with a range of partners including the local music hub to evaluate your present position and develop a suitable plan for development. Over the past two years you have successfully increased the range of opportunities for pupils; including digital technology strands, working with professional artists and increasing trips and performance occasions. These activities have enhanced arts provision for pupils, increased staff skills and raised pupils’ expectations. For future development you may wish to consider how you can start to share the good practice you have identified with other schools in the area. You may also wish to further develop case studies which could be used to identify the measurable effects arts and cultural activities can have on other areas of the curriculum including reading and writing.

Congratulations on your Artsmark Gold Award!

Moseley Primary are our musical school of the month. Here are some of the amazing things they are doing....

Want to know why Moseley Primary is our Musical School of the month?

• Every child from Year 2 to Year 6 receives specialist instrumental lessons every week including ukulele, fife, woodwind and brass

• Fife and ukulele players performed at the Albany Theatre as part of our WCET Showcase last year

• They host Musical Mixtures Wind Band on Tuesdays 4 – 5 pm – woodwind and brass players welcome to come along next term!

• They are Music Mark School Members

• They are currently working towards their Artsmark Award

Singing is a fundamental part of Moseley school Life and the children enjoy taking part in regular performances and singing assemblies.

• All children sing every week in a singing assembly

• The school choir performs at Young Voices every year. An opportunity to sing in one of the largest choirs in the world.

• KS1 children enjoy taking part in Mornings of Music - a celebration of music provided by Coventry Music

• The school put on regular performances for parents and children. 

• And even the staff are musical and regularly perform for the children in a staff choir and sometimes even playing instruments.

A perfect example of the brilliant music taking place at Mosley would be today's (Friday 21st December) year 5 performance where parents and pupils were treated to a Top of the Pops style musical history. The Year 5 pupils told about how music and culture had changed over the years and performed some of the well known christmas classics from the different decades, with a few solo's including an appearance from Elvis himself!! Then as a surprise ending, we were treated to beautiful performance from the staff choir, including some instrumental playing, including bells, cymbals, trumpets, drums and kazoos...all learnt specially for the performance.

Music is a joy to watch as Moseley and it shows just how much all the children and staff enjoy taking part!

Well done, you are worthy winner!
