Enrichment

Enrichment at Farborough Primary

We aim to continually increase the cultural capital of all of our children at Farnborough through a culturally rich curriculum which is supported by a wide range of experiences and clubs all which enhance the children’s learning.

Every one of our children is encouraged to develop an appreciation for experiences beyond the classroom, developing their characters and interests through the curriculum and beyond. We want all of our children, regardless of circumstance to have the opportunity to pursue their own interests and develop their own talents. We offer a wide range of art, music and sport activities as well as providing the opportunities for our children to develop socially too.

Enrichment at Farnborough:

To enrich our curriculum further all of our classes take part in a wide variety of trips.

We offer a wide range of both lunchtime and afterschool clubs from sports such as netball, football, and basketball. Through to arts and crafts with sewing and art club as well as chess and science club.

Both KS1 and KS2 have a choir which rehearse weekly and perform termly.

As well as weekly music lessons we offer a wide range of individual instrumental/singing lessons provided by the Bromley Youth Music Trust. New for 2023 we have started an orchestra and are encouraging all KS2 pupils who play an instrument (Grade 1+) to join.

Every year group has the opportunity to perform in play or production and run a class assembly as well as a Christmas performance.

Our Forest School is extremely popular with our children where they create some of their fondest memories of their time at primary school.
