Music

We are enormously proud to be nominated to receive the Music Mark for our school this academic year. 

We are delighted to announce that Windmill has been awarded the Music Mark of Recognition for Dedication in 2025–26 in recognition of our commitment to high-quality music education and continuous improvement  we offer our pupils. 

This award celebrates the hard work of pupils and staff in developing a rich, inclusive music provision where every child can enhance opportunities, enjoy and grow through music. From engaging in classroom music lessons to performing in discrete music concerts our school community has shown tremendous enthusiasm and progress this year.

We are proud to display the Music Mark certificate and logo, a testament to our dedication to enhancing musical opportunities for all.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our success and we look forward to continuing our musical journey together!

We continue to work with our colleagues from the Barnet Education Arts Trust for bespoke music lessons. 

If any pupil wishes to learn an instrument we try to match their aspirations with our available musicians from the Barnet Education Arts Trust BEAT or their partner organisations English Folk Dance and Song Society.

Music Development Plan

Music reflects the culture and society we live in, and so the teaching and learning of music enables children to better understand the world they live in and develops curiosity for different cultures and ideas. It also plays an important part in helping children feel part of a community. We provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform and enjoy music,  to develop the skills, to appreciate a wide variety of musical forms. We promote inclusion to the Barnet Music Festival in 2023-2024 Windmill pupils participated in the Barnet Music Festival at the Arts Depot with the English Folk Society presenting their sea shanties.
