Sport
Everyone is encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities whatever their ability, and the school makes good use of a local games field and swimming baths.
All children have a Games/P.E. lesson and a swimming lesson on a weekly basis, with our Annual Sports Day and Swimming Gala both entertaining highlights of the year!
A particularly unusual feature of our school is its Traditional Maypole and Country Dancing. Our May Day celebrations are renowned!
