Beyond the Classroom

Sports

All pupils are encouraged to embrace sport and games for all, with access to specialist staff and Wellesley’s outstanding facilities and extensive grounds. There is some timetabled physical activity every day, and the children are taught basic skills, and introduced to a variety of sports, including football, hockey, tag rugby, cricket, gymnastics and tennis, as well as weekly swimming lessons.  Competitive fixtures begin from Year 3.

Creative Arts

Class music lessons focus on singing and the use of instruments (percussion, ocarina and recorder) while individual or shared instrumental lessons are available from Year 1.  All pupils are part of the pre-prep choir and take part in group musical performances throughout the year.

Activities

There is a structured programme of activities and clubs, which are available from Year 1. Clubs and activities on offer include: arts and crafts, ball games, cooking, gardening, ICT, drama and musical ensembles.  All pupils are able to stay for after school clubs until 6pm (and supper is included).
