Learning for Life

At St John’s, we are committed to promoting a holistic approach to education that recognises the interconnectedness of a child’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development, alongside their academic achievement. With this in mind, please see below our Learning for Life enrichment offer for each year group. These opportunities are designed to provide children with a wide range of experiences that nurture the whole child, build life skills, and prepare them positively for later life. To support every child’s journey at St John’s, we have planned enriching experiences in every year group, including educational visits and visitors.

Musical Instrument Tuition

Musical instrument tuition is provided by Warwickshire Music and is available to children in Key Stage 2. Warwickshire Music supports music making in schools across the county, teaches well over 12,000 children every week in schools and music centres, and runs after-school and weekend activities for all children.

At St John’s, there is the opportunity to learn the violin, keyboard, piano or guitar. Please contact Warwickshire Music on 01926 742630 if you would like any advice about the suitability of a particular instrument for your child. Information on instrument hire can be found on the parent page of Warwickshire Music’s website.

Each weekly lesson lasts 20 or 30 minutes. There are 33 lessons taught in the course of the school year. Due to the fact that lessons take place during the school day, pupils may miss National Curriculum time and work missed may have to be done at home.

The cost of music tuition is £6.50 per lesson. Lessons are invoiced termly in advance.  Parents and carers are asked to sign a contract agreeing to pay for the lessons. It is important to note that Warwickshire Music have strict deadlines for giving notice to stop music lessons, with at least half a term’s notice required. Notice must be given in writing to the school office.

If you are interested in your child learning to play a musical instrument, please contact the school office.
