Extracurricular activities
Curriculum enrichment activities are one of the pillars of our educational project. They help every child discover their talents, make good use of free time and develop creativity, physical skills and relationships with others.
Each stage has activities included in the curriculum and optional activities. The list is on each stage’s page; here are the rules for those already enrolled.
How optional activities work
- They are optional and take place outside school hours, with qualified teachers and a coordinator.
- They run in all three terms. Enrolment is for at least one term.
- To change activity, the parent or guardian emails the coordinator up to 15 days before the end of the term.
- Payment is monthly, invoiced at the start of each month. Pupil absences are not refunded.
- Activities with two sessions a week do not run during school holidays or on field trip days.
- Physical activities require suitable clothing, as indicated by the school.
- The Music School has its own rules.
- Depending on demand, Ballet and Sports Gymnastics may also be offered.
