Clubs & Activities
We currently run
very popular Art, Cookery, Football and Nature clubs.
The school offers
the services of a number of peripatetic music teachers who come to school
to teach strings, woodwind, keyboard and brass.
We have just had
an Art week where we enjoyed visits from local artists. We all enjoyed
taking part in clay sculpting, mosaic work, stone painting and landscape
drawings among a host of other activities.

Each year Y5 and
Y6 pupils are given the opportunity to go on a 5 day visit to Humphrey Head
Outdoor Education Centre. The Centre is run by North Yorkshire Council
Education Department and takes approximately 30 pupils. Usually we have the
centre to ourselves but occasionally we share it with another small school.
The instructors
are fully qualified teachers who specialise in Outdoor Education. The
centre staff and teachers support the children in all activities. The adult
to child ratio is usually 1-6 while the pupils are involved in the
activities. At night the pupils sleep in dormitories with staff rooms
adjacent. The meals are excellent and all are cooked on site.
Activities include
rock climbing and abseiling, walking, canoeing, orienteering, gorge walking
and mountain walking. The children are encouraged to work as a team,
helping each other, to become self-reliant and independent. The visit is so
popular that most pupils go in Y5 and repeat the visit in Y6.
