Sports, Games & Activities

The aims of physical education at The Old Rectory are for pupils to develop physical skills and positive attitudes to health and fitness as well as co-operation and teamwork. Lessons cover a range of sports and games depending on the season. Pupils also have the opportunity to compete against local mainstream schools in sports such as football, cricket, netball, hockey and cross-country running. Swimming lessons are held at the local pool. In addition to our popular Fire Crew, we offer a wide variety of activities such as Karate, Horse Riding, Sailing and Shooting as well as Gardening, Computer, Science and Walking clubs.

 

  

 

Music, Drama, Art & DT

Many of our pupils exhibit particular strengths in the creative and expressive arts and at The Old Rectory these can really flourish. Approaches and techniques are taught to provide frameworks for the development of personal style, giving pupils the chance to achieve their personal best and go beyond the ordinary – which they do!

Art work and projects are proudly displayed throughout the school, while plays and concerts showcase talent as well as enthusiasm. Visitors comment on the quality of the children’s work and performances. In addition to timetabled classes, we offer private music and/or drama lessons and pupils can join in Art and DT clubs.
