From the Briar Hill Primary School
Our attitude acknowledges that each kid has unique needs and abilities, and that children learn best when they are encouraged and appropriately stretched in order to help them grow in self-assurance and self-esteem. We provide a choice of after-school groups that differ each term in order to meet the requirements of the entire child. These include, but are not limited to, football, rugby, dance, music, glee club, and film club. Additionally, Briar Hill Primary School offers the advantage of operating a childcare that accepts children as young as three. Before starting in Reception, this is a great chance for the kids to practise social skills and get accustomed to the school environment.
