Background:

Sedbergh Primary School is a one-form entry community school and has seven classes, one for each year group. The school has a dining room/library and a large hall, which is also equipped as a gymnasium. The aim of this school is to provide a high quality and broadly based primary education for all children in a safe and stimulating environment. There are computers and printers in each classroom in school, which are in constant use, and a small suite in the entrance hall. Children develop their skills in information technology in all curriculum areas. Music is seen as an important part of arts education in the school, involving the development of skills in listening, composing and performing. This is accomplished through singing, playing instruments and listening to a wide variety of music. Children will be given opportunities to explore, develop and control body movement in physical education with a specific emphasis on health related fitness. Educational visits are arranged to places of interest, usually in the more immediate location of the school and at least once a year to places field.
