Curriculum

Art, craft and design help us to explore our own feelings and imagination through different media and to develop our creativity. The arts help us to develop cultural awareness, value originality and respect the expressions of others as well as recognising excellence in others’ work.

Where appropriate the arts are taught within our broad themes and exciting topics. We are committed to providing children with a wide experience of the arts both at school and at home through our ‘Banks Lane Infant Experiences’ programme. Children are offered the opportunity to take part in Singing and Dance Clubs and to take ukulele lessons. Children take part in school performances and have many opportunities to showcase their talent and creativity, including our annual Talent Show.
