Life in the Junior School

Wellbeing

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is taught through assembly themes and through Jigsaw lessons in class. Jigsaw is a comprehensive, whole- school approach to promoting the social and emotional skills that underpin effective learning, positive behaviour, and the emotional health and well-being of all who learn and work in schools.

All Junior children have two Physical Education (PE) lessons per week, one of which is led by a specialist. There is also a half year swimming programme for children in Year 3 upwards.

Creative Arts

Children access curriculum music lessons led by our music teachers, and in addition, the children have a specific Art Skills lesson each week taught by a specialist teacher.

Each year group takes part in an annual production, and there is a rich variety of music in the school, with 12 private music teachers offering one to one tuition, three choirs and a range of performance opportunities.
