A variety of instruments can be learnt including violin, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, guitar, drums and brass. A charge is made for lessons, although parents receiving income support are entitled to support with fees. Please contact the school reception for more information.
Educational Visits and Residential Trips: Visits play an essential role in our work and take place on a regular basis. These vary from places in the locality (for instance the library, St Mary’s Church, the Science and Literature Festivals) to places further afield such as Gloucester Cathedral. Residential trips are offered to children in years 5 and 6 both in the UK and France.
