Junior Department structure

Class sizes are small. The two younger classes benefit from specialist teaching and facilities in Music and Games. Classes 5 and 6 have specialist teaching in all subjects.
We value the partnership with Parents in their child's education and maintain close links through regular formal open evenings. At other times, appointments can be made with any member of staff.

Extra-Curricular Activities

As an integral part of the general education and development of each pupil a wide choice of extra-curricular activities is available outside normal lesson time, and participation is encouraged. These include extra subjects such as music (piano, strings, woodwind and guitar), ballet, music and movement, speech and drama. Sports clubs, choral and orchestral groups are held at lunchtime, and use of the specialised library in the Junior Department is encouraged. Theatre visits and field trips relevant to studies are arranged throughout the year.
