Sports

Shine Sports Coaches enrich every lunchtime with a range of planned activities. In addition to this, they run a session with each KS1 class every week.

Music

We are lucky to have a close relationship with a peripatetic piano teacher who plays piano for our singing assemblies, supports our choir club as well as offers lessons to KS1 children. Children also have an opportunity to have band lessons through Rock Steady to learn either electric guitar, keyboard, drums or vocals.  Details are on our clubs page.

Choir

We run a break time choir club for those children interested in learning additional songs to share at seasonal events or school concerts.

Outdoor learning

All children take part in a block of Outdoor Learning to develop 'forest school' skills during their Reception year. This is on-site in our dedicated 'forest school' area, led by an outside provider.

School Council

Children have a class election to choose two School Council Reps each year. Reps meet to discuss school improvement and to share pupil viewpoint with teachers.

Eco Committee

Children can put themselves forward for a class vote to be an Eco Committee Rep. Children in this group have planted tees and a wildflower bank as well as raise funds to support a bid to install scooter and bike racks.

Educational Visits

Regular visits to a variety of different venues are planned during the school year. These are often linked to the Curriculum. Examples include: Castles, the zoo, parks, theatres and  museums.

Trust Events

We join children from other trust schools to take part in events such as Year 2 singing concerts and a joint KS1 and KS2 nature day.

Theatre Companies

We have also had performances by theatre companies in our school hall. These can include pantomimes, science plays and puppet productions.

Visiting Professionals

These include storytellers, magicians, clergy, police, firefighters, kite making and the Explorer Dome to name a few.

Enrichment Weeks

We plan whole-school focus weeks to immerse children in learning.  Previous weeks include:- Lost words (vocabulary) week, Arts Week (based around a topical theme), Environment Week, Internet Safety Week and Friendship Week.
