Extra Curricular Activities
What's on offer?
We are currently not hosting extra curricular activities due to Covid 19 but we have left this page to give you a flavour of that we normally do! We hope to be back to normal soon!
The Firs Lower School is keen to promote the running of clubs outside normal hours and curriculum. Such clubs are invaluable in providing the children with additional opportunities for learning and social experience.
Aswell as running our own school choir we are supported by Premier Sports, who provide many opportunities for children to try something new, coaching a selection of seasonal activities throughout the school year.
