Music at Shadwell
In addition to our enriching music curriculum, we also run a KS2 choir, with future plans to start a KS1 choir. This allows the children who love to sing to develop their singing skills as part of a group. We provide the children with lots of opportunities to perform both within school as well as in the wider community. If your child is interested in getting involved with the choir, or you have any opportunities for the choir to get involved with, please let the school know.
