Music
We have specialist teachers from the Newham Academy of Music who visit the school to support our music curriculum across the school.
Music tuition
A tutor from Newham Music Academy provides in-school tutoring for Key Stage 2 children. Please contact the school office for further details.
Singing
Singing is an important part of school life and will resume when it is safe to do so.
Other study support activities
We pride ourselves on what after school clubs we offer and have already reached the Quality in Study Support Emerging status.
We host a range of non-sport activities after school to enhance and enrich children’s learning. These include Computing, needlework, homework and art clubs.
Personal, social and health education/citizenship
These are seen as vitally important in the development of happy, healthy individuals. The school follows the non-statutory guidelines of the National Curriculum 2000; Sex and Drug Education are incorporated into the wider PSHE programme.
Playground Buddies
Exceptionally behaved children across the school enjoy taking responsibility for other children during lunchtime. They organise sports equipment and lead playground activities.
School Council
WHCS has a long-established School Council tradition. The Council meets regularly to discuss issues of concern within the school community. Elected representatives from Year 2 to Year 6 raise points for discussion and where appropriate initiate action for improvement.
School Camp
A school camp takes place most years. Year 6 visit Fair Play House in Maldon, Essex. It is an outdoor activity camp; the range and demands of the activities becoming increasingly challenging for the older children.
