Please note that during Terms 1 and 4 there is a compulsory Sport Hour for all Grade 3 – 7 pupils. The Grade 3 lesson takes place during the school day, but the Grade 4 -7 takes place from 14.30 – 15.30. This falls away in Terms 2 and 3 in order to accommodate the winter sports.
It is compulsory for all girls from Grade 3-7 to do at least one winter sport, but both hockey and netball is encouraged as we enter 2 teams into the leagues and must have enough players to fill these teams.
Cross-country training is compulsory for all Grade 3-7 pupils and this takes place during second break on Wednesdays. We will be asking for parents to volunteer to be marshals at this time to keep our girls safe on the road. Further info will go out nearer the time.

The Green Kids Holiday Clubs run throughout the year, and on the first and last Saturday of the month, from Feb to Nov each year. We have been going for 2 years now, and have fully booked holiday programmes, and have therefore added an older age group (10-12 year olds) this year. We thus offer fun nature education in nature, with peer interaction, learning about ecosystems and life in our own back gardens, through input, craft, and fun games all based on the Project theme. Healthy snacks (including garden produce!) to suit all diets, are included. Please see flyer below.
