Extra-curricular activities

At Pippins we firmly believe that some of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences that a child will have are outside the usual curricular provision. Children will have the opportunity to take part in end-of -term shows to which we will invite parents. In Key Stage 2 there are also sporting opportunities and we have taken part in football, netball and cricket matches against other schools as well as being involved in the Spelthorne area swimming gala. In addition our teaching staff have run a variety of clubs including chess, board games, art, drama, cooking, choir and gardening. A small charge may be made for these activities to provide extra equipment.

Off-Site Activities.

Educational visits are an important part of our curriculum; these includelocal walks to the park or Colnbrook village, day trips to places such as Birdworld or Katesgrove Victorian Classroom. Children in Year 4 and 6 also take part in residential visits, enjoying the opportunity to take part in outdoor activities and develop independence and self-confidence. We hope you will consent for your child to take part in off-site activities in the immediate locality. When longer journeys are planned, you will be given full details of the outing well in advance.

The Governing Body of Pippins School have agreed that parents should be asked for a contribution towards the cost of such activities and outings but that no child shall be excluded on the grounds of non-payment.
