“We get to learn about different sports. The girls play hockey and the boys do rugby and football. We do gym in our hall. There is a really big field to play on and sometimes we use the tennis courts.”

Timetabled alongside the usual academic lessons are other subjects such as music, PE, ICT, dance and games. These are all taught by specialist teachers within the school day.

Games and PE are an integral part of the curriculum and children are encouraged to improve their gross motor skills, co-ordination, skill level and confidence necessary for playing hockey, netball, rounders, football, rugby, gymnastics and tennis. Swimming is included within the curriculum and after-school programme.

Music is also an important part of the school curriculum and Pre-Prep children have two music lessons a week. In ICT children are encouraged to develop first-class computer skills. French is taught from Year 1 by a specialist teacher who uses games and music to help develop a love of foreign language
