School Curriculum

Art and music are part of the national curriculum and are taught to all children in our school. One of our aims is to “develop each child’s aesthetic awareness and to provide opportunities for the growth of creativity and imagination”, and we seek to provide a range of activities with this end in view.

Visits to museums and art galleries are planned in the curriculum and every year, a professional theatre group visits our school to perform for all the children.

Concerts by professional and semi-professional musicians also take place at least annually and whenever possible, children are taken to concerts, for example at the Philharmonic Hall and to local theatres.

Some of our extra curricular activities such as drama, art club and musical activities are also designed to develop children’s creativity. Cultural events such as our annual Poetry Afternoon take place regularly and all our upper juniors have the chance to take part in a drama production at the end of the year.
