We believe that a child’s time in school should be exciting and memorable; the best years of their life! We offer not just an outstanding academic education, but also a broad range of fun activities and life experiences. Our passport is a list of 50 things we believe every child between the age of 7 and 11 should experience.
We provide as many of these enrichment opportunities as we can. As children complete them, they date the relevant stamps on their passport. This passport then becomes a record of all the amazing activities that our children experience during their time with us.
The list includes: make a snow angel, bake a cake, hold a baby chick, play conkers, play Pooh sticks, climb a tree, hold a snake, visit the theatre, go to a farm and play crazy golf!
This year, our Year 5 children spent a lovely day at the seaside in Sutton-on-Sea ticking off lots of passport experiences such as kite flying, feeling sand between their toes and digging big holes on the beach! Soon afterwards, they camped on the school field to tick off ‘sleeping away from parents’. The Year 6 children visited Nottingham Playhouse to see the Cinderella pantomime in December before venturing further afield to PGL in Caythorpe for their weekend residential in May. In Year 4, the children watched with interest as their caterpillars turned into butterflies. They also spent the year working with the Derbyshire Music Partnership to learn to play the ukulele. Several eggs were delivered into school and we got to watch as they all hatched and then got to hold a baby chick when they had fluffed up and were old enough. Our Year 3 children went boating in Markeaton Park while our Year 6 children took part in raft building at PGL.
