Go Well-being Curriculum Building resilience in a modern world Go Our well-being curriculum intends to: Promote emotional well-being and mental health. Embed an understanding of how to remain resilient and self-aware of pressures. Consider how physical activity can promote well-being for all. Consider how we can support others in our community. Overview At The Westgate School we make the well-being of the individual a top priority: academic success can only come from feeling emotionally safe and secure. In order to become confident and resilient individuals, young people need to be taught the skills to look after their emotional and physical well-being therefore, our academic curriculum is supplemented by a school-designed curriculum for well-being that is led by pupils and, our school's lead for mental health, Mrs Kathryn Evans - Deputy Headteacher. The school year is punctuated by 'Well-being Days' in which all pupils participate. Parents and carers are invited to support these events and regular Partners in Learning opportunities also aim to help parents and carers to deepen their skills in supporting their child's well-being.

Go Music Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand, with an equal opportunity for all Go Our Music curriculum intends to: Unlock musical potential in every young person to be creative and curious about music. Challenge pupils to think musically, enabling them to acquire and develop a deep understanding of how music works. Develop an appreciation of music styles and cultures, over time. Why Learn Music?

Music is constantly evolving, inspiring creativity and expression in a way that no other subject can. Our course offers pupils the chance to study a wide range of musical genres, with more opportunities for practical learning.

Course Skills Listening and Analysing: pupils listen to a range of music, identifying dimensions and devices and comparing music. Composing: pupils participate in practical activities and collaborate with others in pairs and group ensembles. Exploring and Rehearsing: Pupils explore practical music-making and refine musical items to include dimensions. Performing: Pupils perform and communicate musical intentions to peers, the class or their teacher. They share vocal, percussive or instrumental skills, showing understanding of genre or tradition. Evaluating: Pupils Identify and reflect upon strengths and improvements and share responses. (We refer to this as Strength – Improvement – Response or SIR). Extra-curricular learning: We offer the largest range of musical opportunities of any school in Hampshire with a significant number of pupils participating in extra-curricular music. In Year 7 all pupils sing together at Winchester Cathedral for our popular Christmas concert, and many participate with more established musicians as they develop their skills. During Year 9 pupils will be given the opportunity to consider in greater depth the practical and theoretical aspects of this wonderful subject so that in Year 10 they can then begin the GCSE syllabus. Course content: Pupils study the three key areas: musical listening and appraising; performance both solo and ensemble; composing. Pupils will study key areas of music including Music for stage, Song writing, Samba and Afro-fusion. Through this pupils will develop skills of musical analysis using subject specific language and a basic knowledge of music theory. The course includes regular opportunities to perform on their main study (instrument or voice) as well accessing music technology, new instruments and developing keyboard and percussion skills. Composition tasks will be completed both individually and in groups, sometimes using music technology. Pupils will spend time developing the use of a variety of devices to develop musical ideas to fit both a genre and a musical structure. Assessment: The course contains an assessment at the end of each term (or genre studied). This will include a mix of assessed performances (both ensemble and solo), assessed compositions (live performance or realised using music technology) and listening and appraising questions. There will also be an individual composition in the summer term based on a set brief and a performance on their main study.This mirrors the GCSE composing and performance-controlled assessment requirements. Course content (skills): Pupils study the three key areas: musical analysis; performance both solo and ensemble; arranging and composing. Pupils will study a variety of musical genres from Jazz, dance music, film music and a selection of world music. Through this work pupils will develop skills of music analysis using musical language and a basic knowledge of music theory. The course includes regular opportunities to perform on their main study (instrument or voice) as well trying new instruments and developing existing keyboard and percussion skills from KS3. Composition tasks will be completed both individually and in groups. Pupils will spend time developing the use of a variety of compositional devices to develop musical ideas to fit both a genre and a musical structure. Course content (genres): Jazz Song writing (Pop) Reggae Dance music My instrument Assessment: The course contains an assessment at the end of each term (or genre studied). This will include assessed performances (both ensemble and solo), assessed compositions (live performance or realised using music technology) and analysis questions. There will also be an individual composition in the summer term based on a set brief and a performance on their main study. Home Learning: This is set weekly and ranges from research style activities, written tasks, composing preparation, practice both individual and as an ensemble that consolidates and extends learning in the classroom. Pupils in addition to this home learning are expected to participate in an ensemble weekly either in or out of school. Weekly practice as part of their instrument lessons is also an expectation and will continue through the GCSE course in Years 10 and 11 if chosen.
