Theme Days and Events

We believe experiential activities supports both skills and knowledge development opportunities.

We have a comprehensive programme of curriculum enrichment to ensure that all children explore practical and experiential activities. Enrichment happens across the curriculum and provides opportunities to develop independent learning skills as well as opportunities to celebrate specific curriculum focus areas. Take a look at our community page and news archive for our recent events!
