As an addition to our curriculum we also invite specialist teachers to do extracurricular activities during our afternoon sessions. Please ask at the nursery for the latest schedule of these extra activities. Some of these classes are charged as extra, please ask a member of staff for current schedule and prices.

Our tennis coaches are masters in creating a fun environment for the children, not only helping their hand-eye co-ordination, but their gross and fine motor skills, The lessons consist of fun games and drills; the children learn to volley and take instructions, developing their listening skills and learn how to work both as a team and as an individual. At Little Rackets it is also about promoting a healthy lifestyle, building confidence and creating a love for the sport.

Through drama and interactive fun pupils are given the tools to blend, segment and decode words.We understand that children learn in very different ways, and for some a more active, dramatic approach is the key to boosting confidence, retaining knowledge and propelling their learning journey.
