Primary Links

We have well-established links with our feeder primary schools and do a number of shared activities throughout each year. It is important to have strong connections with our primaries and their children to enhance learning and bring a wider scope of enrichment activities together to benefit us all. Our student leaders are frequently involved in primary work.

We have developed curriculum links:

• French and Spanish weekly lessons and clubs
• P.E. collaborations, both at Allerton Grange and in the primary schools
• Maths and PHSE shared curriculum planning
• Science sessions with experiments
• Technology days, making key rings, healthy eating food and textiles products.

Our student leaders take part in joint activities:

• Leading creative writing master classes
• Sports leaders taking P.E. sessions, involved in running primary sports days and inter-primary competitions.
• Musical workshops, led by our Music ambassadors.
• Sixth formers are reading mentors
• Internet safety lessons delivered by the sixth form
• Green project for more able students, led by Year 10.

We collaborate in enrichment activities:

• Drama workshops and productions
• Joint musical showcase
• After school events, e.g. Higgs Boson with the Ministry of Sense
• Forensic science after school club
• Art printing workshops
• Robotics sessions
• Joint author visits

On a regular basis, we attend events in primary schools, including summer fairs and careers events. Our staff running these events are happy to answer any questions you may have.
