At the end of the week, the pupils will sit an informal test to assess what they have learnt over the week. They will also take part in a final presentation show, where they will be presented with awards and a completion certificate.

A daily photo diary will be available to parents at the end of each day. It will include a roundup of daily activities and what they have learnt, as well as photos

For residential pupils we arrange activities for the children every evening. These will either take place in the boarding house, or out in the city, where we will arrange special trips to the West End
