The large tarmac playground at the rear of the school is at present being enhanced by the addition of gardens and seating. There is a magnificent library with wood panelled and tapestry covered walls which is also used for music and as a T.V. room. A large gymnasium is slightly seperate from the main building. In the basement there is a very large practical activity room used mainly for practical mathematics, art and design technology. |  |

Children attend the main school from the term in which they reach their fifth birthday. They become gradually integrated into the main school community from the nursery class which is situated adjacent to the main school in the Convent grounds. The nursery class while following its own wide and exciting curriculum, works closely with the main school when planning topics, pre-reading and writing programmes to ensure continuity and progression throughout the whole school. |
School visits are an essential and important part of the curriculum. Here pupils are pond dipping at nearby Wicken Fen nature reserve. |

Religious Education forms an important part of the curriculum. Central to the programme is the Christian belief in Jesus Christ. As well as daily assembly there is the privilege for each class to prepare their own termly class Mass to which parents and friends are invited. |
A very special event each year is the Easter Liturgy which is a complete re-enactment of the Easter story, This begins with the whole school and the school chaplain assembling outside with Jerry the donkey for the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. |
 |
 | By recognising Jesus Christ in ourselves and others,our school strives to be a living Christian community which values and nurtures each individual through a sound education and encourages responsible attitudes towards our changing world. |  |
