Background:

St Francis School is a one-form entry Primary School with a purpose-built nursery. The school was opened in 1979. Music is enhanced by extra-curricular activities such as choir, recorders and wind band. These activities both support and provide a focus for the learning of instruments by pupils'. All groups perform in the outside community and it holds an annual music evening at St Francis Church. The enthusiasm and interests of the teachers at St Francis mean that a variety of extra activities are often available to the pupils. The activities are offered by the teachers over and above their curriculum and teaching responsibilities and often require the support of parents at school or home. Staff movement often means changes in the activities offered, but at the moment include the following: - football, netball, cricket, chess, information technology, rounders, writing club, French club, golf club, dance club.
