A TOUR OF THE SCHOOL
THE MIDDLE FLOOR
Here you'll find mainly Junior classrooms. Again, the numbers are small, and whether you visit a year 6 room or a Year 4, you'll find everybody working purposefully. Often, you'll hear music playing while the children work, and you'll notice that what the children produce is of good quality. Children will look up and smile at you, and they'll probably want to show you something they're doing, or talk to you about an activity they're involved in. Move into the Music Room and you'll see children being taught cello, or violin. On this floor is the Library Resource room, where you'll also find a teacher and her assistant working, perhaps, with a very small group of special needs children. Move through the hall, and have a look at our huge work display from our recent Maths Week, then visit the Viewing Room, where children watch films and TV, and where you'll see over 50 guitars. Back through the hall, and you might hear one of our three school choirs. Pop up the tiny staircase, and visit the SENCO's room, filled with colourful displays, where children who need a little extra help meet here once or twice a week.
There are music and drama concerts each term |

| THE TOP FLOOR
Finally, up to the top floor. Here you'll walk through our top hall, which has a stage and lights and is used for all our productions. Every child in the school takes part in the Christmas show. At the end of summer term, we perform a musical which involves up to eighty children, and it is a gala occasion to end the school year. Perhaps you'll see a group practising a short piece of drama for school assembly. Near the hall, visit our art workshop, where technology club takes place, and children paint and craft. This corridor also contains a number of classrooms, all of them Juniors, ranging from Year 3 to Year 6. You'll also find our ICT suite, where Junior classes are allocated specific time each week. (children in Key Stage 1 have their own classroom computer). The ICT suite is also used for small groups. At the moment, for example, a group of older children are producing a school newspaper. On this corridor you might see the strings group practising after school, or the keyboard group playing on Thursdays. Throughout all the corridors you'll see a range of models and art work created by the children.
