We believe sport is an integral part of education and child development and it can have a hugely positive affect on confidence, moral values, team-working and leadership skills.They encourage healthy competition, offering many fixtures with other schools in a wide range of sports throughout the year. We also have links with many outside organisations including West Ham and Chelsea Football Clubs, which provide further opportunities for children to improve their sporting prowess.

As well as an impressive set of drums and a Marimba, we have a range of hand-held percussion instruments for smaller children, a range of special effects and multi-cultural instruments, as well as class sets of recorders and keyboards, to name a few.
