If you provide home learning for your child then you might be very interested to know that we provide exclusive workshops and visits for groups of home learners throughout the year.
The Old Rectory provides a perfect venue for smaller groups and particularly children with SEND, who might prefer quieter and calmer environments. We offer monthly sessions for up to 10 children and their parents or carers to come an enjoy learning experiences together, all linked to the national curriculum.
