primarycur2Children are also able to take horse-riding lessons, as well as piano and drum lessons. We also recognise that it is important to give children the time to ‘just play’ or to ‘chill out’ with their friends and such times are built into each day.

Assemblies occur daily in a variety of forms. We also organise Class Assemblies where the children show work they have been doing recently and we encourage parents to attend these assemblies. Towards the end of Term 3 we have Lower School and Upper School Productions to which you are warmly invited.
