with recorder club and ball skills for the younger children.
“The quality of relationships between staff and pupils and between pupils themselves is a great strength. Pupils are considerate and work and play happily together.”
Throughout the year, children in all classes are taken on trips and expeditions to a variety of locations. In Year 6, pupils are given the opportunity to attend a week-long educational holiday in France which combines both language and adventurous activities. For the Upper Juniors, a biennial ski trip to France takes place in the Spring term.
