Enriched Curriculum

School Clubs

Extra-curricular activities include football, multi-skills, gymnastics, dance, craft, fencing, signing, Spanish, cooking, violin, choir and garage-band.

Educational Visits

We take every opportunity to learn outside classrooms and often go out into the local area.  For walking around and exploring the local environment, we gain permission at the beginning of each academic year so that we can respond quickly to any learning opportunity.

Over the year, classes go on educational visits. We visit places of interest (such as museums, exhibitions, galleries, parks etc) usually linked to a curriculum area. Information regarding class trips will be shared via the online learning platform Seesaw. We seek permissions and voluntary contribution towards the costs.

Beach School

Taking advantage of our fantastic local area, we have trained Beach School teachers on our staff. Beach school sessions aim to educate children though games and activities, about their local environment as well as how to sustain it for future generations to enjoy.

From safety at the seaside, rock pooling, beach combing, bird watching, mark making in the sand, sand sculptures with driftwood, exploring coastal habitats and litter picking, the beach provides children with so many outdoor learning opportunities. Beach schools also develop children’s primary skills such as basic instincts, emotional intelligence, working as a team, confidence in being outdoors, social skills, and health and safety initiatives.

Pupil Council

Elections are held at the beginning of October. Each class elects one boy and one girl councillor from their class. Anyone can stand for election. The prospective councillor gives a speech outlining their own views and reasons why they think they should win the vote. The elected councillors attend monthly council meetings at which ideas, issues and concerns raised at class meetings, are shared and discussed. The councillors report back to their class. Views and suggestions are passed onto the Leadership Team and Governing Body.
