Our Aim
Our aim is to offer a specially devised curriculum that focuses on Music and the Arts,
whilst maintaining excellent academic standards. This school will be for children who
have a special interest in Music and the Performing Arts (although no previous music
experience will be required). Rather than music being an extracurricular activity, it will
be part of the children's school life moving freely though their other academic subjects.
It is our firm belief that there is not enough music tuition/performance arts available in
education. How schools manage their music tuition can vary widely from school to
school. It can also depend heavily on the enthusiasm of individual teachers within those
schools. Free music lessons are not available in many primary schools although many
organisations, such as The London Music Masters, The Federation of Music, In
Harmony, The Blackheath Conservatoire, Trinity College and The CYM are working with
primary schools to increase access to free music tuition.
Within our school we would like to provide children with the opportunity to explore
their talents, which are not easily recognized or developed in the current education
system, in this area. All students at RIMU will learn keyboard and recorder and have
opportunities to learn further instruments. All academic lessons will follow the national
curriculum although we intend to incorporate as much music throughout the
curriculum as possible. Music can completely change a way in which a child views their
position within a school and can have a massive, positive, effect on their confidence.
