One important aspect of our school’s ethos is to educate the “whole child” and ensure students have the opportunity to learn skills and participate in activities outside of the classroom environment. We have created a range of activities which will help your son/daughter to develop talents, interests, and passions while also being fun, sociable and educational.
There is a whole range of benefits that come from involvement in the optional activities programme: they provide a productive break from study, they build the pupil’s soft skills outside of the classroom, they provide social opportunities, they boost self-esteem and they encourage students to make new friends outside of their usual environment.
In the brochure you will find the selection of activities on offer including the prices.
Optional Activities include:
Music
Practising an instrument not only strengthens motor skills and auditory capacities, but also helps to develop social attitudes and abilities. Music improves certain skills that influence children’s education directly.
Piano, Bass, Drums, Electric Guitar, Guitar, Violin
Languages
Multilingual people, especially children, are skilled at switching between two systems of speech, writing, and structure. This makes them good multitaskers, as they can easily switch between different structures. Another good reason to speak different languages is that it allows our pupils to stand out from the crowd, and means they will be able to work anywhere in the world.
Spanish Booster, German, French Creative Workshop
Creative or Pedagogic Activities
