In term 3 children from R2-6 go swimming in Leisureland once a week.
During break times and lunch, children have access to our excellent outdoor facilities, including a fabulous astro pitch, handball wall, basketball hoop, climbing walls, four-square grids and a table-tennis table. This ensures that all interests and abilities are catered for, encouraging active play throughout the school day.
