Cliftonville Integrated Primary School, Belfast

Musical Opportunities

Every child that attends Cliftonville Integrated Primary School engages in quality music education from their entry into Nursery to Primary Seven.

A specialist music teacher works with KS2 classes on a weekly basis. During these classes, children enjoy playing a range of instruments such as ukulele and guitar. Guitar tuition is available for pupils in KS2.

All Primary Seven pupils have the opportunity to learn how to play the recorder as part of their music education. This provides a first step towards playing other instruments, and a chance to start to learn to read music and experience the fun of playing in an ensemble.

Key Stage Two children get the opportunity to be part of the school choir. The choir performs regularly at school events, competitions and festivals. We are the winners of the prestigious FISCA Choir of the Year Award.

We have a long-standing partnership with the St. Anne Trust. Each year, three pupils from Primary Six are awarded the title of Singing Scholar. They are chosen to receive specialist singing lessons and take part in select services in St. Anne’s Cathedral.
