Children work and play hard at the school and our results, particularly at the age of twelve are high. Activities after school are very important features of the school. There is football, hockey, gymnastic, karate, basketball, art, French, recorders, and many more activities.

The school has a Parent Teachers' Council and each class has a class parent who helps the class with various activities, such as assembly, book week, concerts and so on.
