A wide range of other activities enhance the curriculum. History theme days ensure that children are fully immersed and engaged in learning about the past. In KS2, there is an opportunity for children to learn to play an instrument if they wish to, through specialist teachers. External IT specialists are also used to enhance the IT curriculum, to ensure areas such as computer coding are delivered effectively. Mandarin is also offered to children in Y6 who show a strength in learning languages. They are taught by a Mandarin teacher from the Secondary school and regular links are made with a school in China. Other visitors to the school contribute specialist knowledge and skills, including sporting activities, Restart a Heart, Bike-ability, author visits and Art based projects. Children also have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of extra-curricular activities and trips, including residential visits for Years 5 and 6.
