School life
Lessons are only part of the day. Clubs, labs and school traditions shape well-rounded pupils.
The reading scheme
Developed by our founder, Mrs Jane Alhassan, and still at the heart of every year group.
Structured reading sessions, book clubs and storytelling workshops build strong, confident readers from the early years to JHS.
Beyond the classroom
Programmes and traditions pupils remember long after they leave.
Clubs and societies
Scouts, Oracy, Sign Language, the School Choir and the Debate Club build leadership and communication.
Annual Science Fair
Pupils present their own projects and ideas, and learn how research works.
Cultural Day
Pupils wear traditional dress and perform the music and dance of the communities that make up our school.
Community service
Clean-ups and literacy projects in the community. Sanitation is a priority across the school.
Language immersion
French is our second language, and visits to francophone regions build fluency.
Tech Innovation Challenge
Pupils design technology solutions to real problems in their community.
