Extra-curricular Activities

Out of school hours a wide choice of activities is available, including Saturday morning football, ballet classes, drama, music, and Kids Plus (an after-school club organized by St Paul’s Church.) Girls over five can also join the Rainbows group which meets at the school. Some extra-curricular activities, such as recorder lessons, are offered during the school day.

Homework

Our approach is to foster a positive partnership between school and home. Through this partnership in learning children can reach their full potential. Our homework policy is based on a progression through the school from learning phonics and reading in Reception, to learning multiplication tables and completing written work in Years 3 and 4. The development of homework continues throughout Years 5 and 6 preparing pupils for their transition to secondary education.

Reports

Regular parent-teacher consultations are conducted at all levels. Parents of all pupils have individual interviews with the child's class teacher in the Autumn and Spring Terms. Written reports are provided at the end of each school year, or when a child leaves. Parents have the opportunity to review this report with their child’s teacher. At all times we encourage parents to maintain an ongoing dialogue with staff.

Elder Siblings

British Primary school hours are dovetailed in with those of the nearby British School of Brussels, so that British Primary pupils and older siblings in Secondary at BSB can be dropped off and collected, morning and afternoon, on the same journey, without timing problems.
