The school will also run some of its own clubs where needed to support some of the training required for participation in USSP inter-school competitions. The relevant teacher will be in contact if your child has been selected and training is required.
Young Voices Choir: the school performs at the O2 every year with schools from all over the country. This normally targets our Year 4, 5 and 6 children over the autumn and spring term for this prestigious event which provides, for many, a once in a life time opportunity to perform on such a stage - inspiring those that love singing and dancing. Mr Purser and Mrs Russell are in contact early in the autumn term with relevant details for those interested.
