Our curriculum is balanced and broadly based. It consists of all the activities designed or encouraged in the school to develop the intellectual, personal, social and physical activities in the children.

The arts are an integral part of life at Kings Furlong Infant School with excellence for all encouraged through whole school involvement in a variety of different curriculum and extra-curricular activities.

Our carefully planned curriculum ensures progression and coverage and intends that children will develop into happy, confident and independent individuals with a secure foundation in learning that will last throughout their lives.

Please find below further information about the teaching of art and design and music at South Farnham School alongside our individual curriculum intentions.

At Kings Furlong Infant School, our art and design curriculum has been carefully constructed to:

• Engage, inspires and challenge all pupils.
• Equip pupils with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent, create their own works of art, craft and design.
• Encourage children to think critically to develop a rigorous understanding of the subject as well as understanding how art and design has shaped our history and contributed to culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

Each pupil studies art and design through dedicated, timetabled lessons which cover the aims and objectives from the National Curriculum. Throughout their studies, pupils will explore a diverse range of artists, creating and evaluating work in a variety of different mediums including both 2D and 3D artwork. 

Our music curriculum is designed to increase self-confidence, creativity and a sense of achievement. High-quality teaching and resources inspire children to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians. Children develop a critical engagement with music enabling them to compose and to listen with discrimination to the best music the world of music has to offer.

Music is an integral and firmly embedded part of life at Kings Furlong Infant School. Pupils have an extensive range of opportunities to participate in the practice and study of music including dedicated whole- class music lessons each week.
