In This Section
“Leaders ensure that pupils, including children in the Reception class, are offered a wide variety of recreational activities.
Pupils can participate at lunchtime and after school in a range of age- appropriate clubs, which include sports such as netball and interests such as photography and musical theatre.
Pupils participate with enthusiasm and speak warmly of these opportunities, which are effective in enabling them to develop their skills and interests and discover new ones.”
