Inspiring People

Children are exposed to a wide variety of inspiring individuals throughout their time at the Junior School.

Curriculum-linked trips, visiting speakers and workshops are a regular part of school life and allow hands-on, in depth exploration of topics. Although these opportunities are often year group specific, all Junior School children are invited to the half termly Friday Mini Lectures, where associates of the school community share their passion and expertise on a whole manner of topics.

Recent events have included hearing about journalism, photography, art, design and technology and netball. We also appreciate regular assemblies from alumni of the school that offer the children a vision of possible futures. Residential trips offer more extended times of learning and growth together. Outward bounds expeditions in Year 3, 4 and 5 boost confidence and problem-solving skills. In Year 6, the children undertake a week of cultural activities that offer both breadth and depth to their learning.
