What Makes Us Unique
Explore how we empower students to embrace their passions, cultivate critical thinking and build a strong sense of self, all within a supportive and inspiring environment.
Location
We are incredibly fortunate to have Thornton Reservoir within walking distance of our school. Regular outings to the reservoir and the surrounding area enhance their understanding of the environment, stimulate curiosity and foster a love of the outdoors and nature. Moreover, outdoor activities promote physical health and well-being, offering a break from classroom routines. By exploring the local area and our school ground nature areas, children also develop observational and investigative skills, which are crucial for their overall cognitive development.
Enrichment Opportunities
We pride ourselves on developing a wide range of enrichment activities to both supplement and further enhance the curriculum. These can be experience and theme days throughout the school, special visitors and also opportunities to go on exciting trips and residential visits. Our yearly destinations include day trips to Stonehurst Farm in Reception, Year 1 and 2 outdoor learning at Bosworth Park, Year 3 and 4 Richard III Museum and Viking experience day, Year 5 WWII experience day, Year 6 Warning Zone, Y Theatre and Team Building Day at Beaumanor Hall. We also arrange two exciting residential visits to Beaumanor Hall in Year 1 and 2 and in Years 4 and 5, where the children get the opportunity to experience more varied outdoor and adventurous activities such as archery, wall climbing and canoeing.
Encompassing Creativity
Art, design, drama, dance and music complement many of our curriculum areas. Alongside our Art and Design curriculum, where pupils learn to use a range of materials, techniques, and the study of different artists, pupils also get the opportunity to celebrate their work through exciting displays throughout the school and also their work being exhibited in exhibitions, festivals and competitions. We are very proud of our exhibited work throughout the school and the vibrant and stimulating learning environment we have created.
