Trips, visits and experiences

Children will have access to wide range of opportunities as they move through the school.  This will include trips and visitors, leadership opportunities, musical instrument tuition and much more.

Club Friday

Every Friday our curriculum time ends at 2:40pm to allow the children to develop their talents and interests.  Led by our teachers and learning support assistants, children are able to choose to attend a club of their choice that they commit to for half a term.  New clubs are offered each term.  This allows 100% of our children to attend clubs.
