We firmly believe that the wider curriculum is just as important as the core curriculum in class. Developing the ‘whole child’ is an essential part of the school’s role. We do this in a variety of ways, by supplementing the curriculum with trips and visitor workshops as well as residentials for children from Year 1-6. This comprehensive range of activities enriches the taught curriculum. All children are encouraged to be fully involved, helping to develop and nurture every child’s strengths and interests.
Clubs
We offer a wide array of extra-curricular activities throughout the school year encompassing Performing Arts, Sports & Outdoor Activities, Creative Pursuits, and Academic & Social development. Clubs are available for children from Nursery to Year 6.
