GSO Test

Activities

Every Monday afternoon there are two sessions of activities for Years 4 to 8.

There is an extensive and varied range of activities, which include:

  • Paid activities - those requiring parental consent, and often involving external members of staff coming into school to provide high level, expert coaching and tuition
  • Free activities - these include cerebral, sporting, cultural and musical activities to ensure each and every pupil is catered for, providing a platform to enhance and grow their many talents

The children can choose these at the beginning of each term and the list of activities varies from term to term to meet demand and interests. 

The aim of Monday afternoons is for the children to choose an activity they really enjoy and that interests them, as well as having the opportunity to try something new
