French is taught as a second language from early levels, with differentiated groups. ICT provides computer literacy, basic programming, and instruction in using a word processor, spreadsheet and database. Mindfulness and Brain Gym are included to support well-being and learning.
The activity clubs are organised and run by the parents and vary by interests; options include arts and crafts, ThinkSTEAM, painting, building club, drama, drawing, guitar and Monkeynastix.
