Things to note
Performing & creative arts
At Bassett House School, children are encouraged to think and behave like real artists and designers. Bassett children critique their own work and that of their peers from Form 1 onwards, giving them the confidence to try different approaches and techniques and to strive for continual improvement.They theme art lessons, making different cultural and historical connections, as well as looking at contemporary references. We work in a variety of media, including stop-motion animation and green-screen film work.
Physical education & sport
At Bassett House School, physical education and sport lessons focus on nurturing a lifelong love of physical activity whilst developing the pupils’ skills through positive experiences.They focus on providing a balance between participation and performance whilst delivering a broad and balanced curriculum in progressive, differentiated lessons that allow the children to progress at their own pace. The physical education and sport department prides itself in also providing a progressive curriculum with the introduction of a wide range of fully co-educational activities, alongside single gender activities where relevant.
Clubs
Variety and new adventures are fundamental building blocks of curiosity and enthusiasm. Aside from being fun and exciting, extra-curricular activities can work wonders in building confidence.A child who once struggled with maths may well excel once they discover they have a hidden talent for something else.
Trips
Fresh air and new experiences are vital for children to soar to greater heights. We encourage Bassett House children to gain independence, resilience, team skills, self-reliance, a willingness to take risks and an interest in the wider world by taking them on optional residential trips.These start at age 7 or 8 in Form 3. We recognise that for many children, a school residential trip will give them the first night they spend away from family, so, we focus on helping every child to feel secure and have fun in a new environment.
