Sporting Events<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the year we get the opportunity to go to other schools and premium sporting facilities in our local area to compete against other schools. These are all organised by Grassroots Sports. Our after-school sports timetable is tailored to compliment these so that our children are given the best opportunity to develop their skills to a level that enables them to compete and succeed to the level of the high expectations of staff and parents.<\/p>\n
