Things to note
Music
At West Jesmond Primary School, they believe that the Music curriculum should engage and inspire all of the children – thus becoming the start of a life-long relationship with Music! Through building a positive relationship with Music they believe that all children will succeed in the subject regardless of potential barriers to learning and previous experiences of the subject. Throughout their time at WJPS, the children will develop their cultural capital, as they learn about a range music from different styles, cultures, eras and genres. They also take inspiration from the local community and learn about the rich tradition of music in the North East.
Sport, After School and Lunch Time Clubs
At West Jesmond, the personal development of the children is at the heart of all that they do and interwoven with the curriculum goals. The extra-curricula clubs and experiences are designed to enhance, enrich and extend the curriculum. Through the extra-curricula activities our children will develop new skills and interests that they will be able to build on during the next stages of their education. At the same time, these opportunities support healthy lifestyles and allow the children to develop their social skills, build up confidence and self-esteem and the qualities of our West Jesmond Way.
Clubs and Opportunities For All
They want all children to be able to take part in our extra-curricula clubs. They actively encourage those children or groups of children, who are under represented in clubs to take part. Children who are eligible for Free School Meals/Pupil Premium have places funded in clubs and for music lessons and we actively seek to encourage a greater uptake among these children.
