Impact Statement

·         We host an Orchestral Day every year inviting all local children to attend of which at least 60 attendees will be external participants. They benefit from our musical experience, allowing children to be part of a musical experience usually only available to more advanced musicians. This is also open to adults and therefore encourages children to make music with their parents/grandparents extending their love of music and encouraging them to continue with their musical education. Several children have gone on to join the Children’s Youth Orchestra.

·         We host tournaments for football and hockey/netball, inviting both local primary and independent schools, giving local children an opportunity to participate in more sport. We have coaching sessions from our links with Wasps Netball, which external pupils are invited to attend.

·         We host one of the local cross-country running races for South Warwickshire open to all schools in the area.

·         Our Reception pupils visit a local elderly care home Margaret’s Court where both they and the elderly residents benefit from interaction across the generation divide.

·         Our Head of Art and Design led an interactive exhibit at RHS Malvern Show, EGG Eco, Green and Growing. Themed around growing food in the community, EGG incorporated live music, talks on eco gardening as well as demonstrations such as willow weaving and interactive art in which several of our pupils demonstrated and assisted the public in making their own artistic sculptures.
