What we can offer your child

Student success

Extra-Curricular

Our school offers a rich variety of extracurricular activities designed to engage students with diverse interests and talents. We are proud to collaborate with external providers who bring professional expertise to our chess, school newspaper, instrumental and dance programs, enriching these experiences for our students. In addition, our own committed and passionate teachers run a plethora of activities to appeal to a wide range of interests, including environmental club, sport, public speaking, art, recorder and choir. Students also have the opportunity to be part of Music Festivals run by The Art Unit. This combination of expert external support and dedicated in-house staff ensures that every student has the opportunity to explore their passions and develop new skills beyond the classroom.

The School Show

Our school’s biannual musical is a highlight of the year, featuring an original production written, choreographed, and directed by our experienced performing arts teacher. The show combines an original script, singing, dancing, and original mixes of music to create a truly unique theatrical experience. The main cast, drawn from Stage 2 and Stage 3 students who audition for various roles, brings the story to life with enthusiasm and talent. Every year group contributes by performing one of the musical pieces, allowing all students to showcase their abilities. The show also fosters strong community connections, with past students often involved in supporting and mentoring current performers. Together, they create memorable moments on stage that celebrate creativity, teamwork, and the joy of performing.
