Trips
School trips and activities are included in the school fees. A range of activities and trips are organised during the year to support and enhance the delivery of our classroom programmes.
Parents give permission for students to attend trips outside the school by signing the “Permission for Excursions” on the Student Data Form each year. Where students travel away from the school, parents will be notified through the school newsletter or a separate letter; when the trip is occurring, the time children will leave and return to school and the mode of transport. Should a parent not wish their child to attend a particular trip they must contact the child’s teacher.
Swimming
All children are expected to participate in class swimming lessons as part of the Health and Physical Education Curriculum. Water confidence and water safety skills are the main emphasis of the school programme.
All students are required to wear bathing caps. A note is required if students cannot swim for health reasons. It is vital that students do not swim for two weeks following a bout of diarrhoea.
The school travel to a local pool for lessons over an intensive few weeks in Term 4 each year.
Lewis Eady operate lessons within the school on a Friday.They offer group or individual tuition on keyboard, piano, ukulele and guitar. For beginners, Musical Jam (instrumental prep course for year 1s and 2s) is a great way to get started.
