Extra-Curricular

We encourage our pupils to embrace everything the Junior School has to offer. Whether pupils are developing their talents, finding new hobbies or enjoying time meeting and making new friends, our varied and exciting extra-curricular programme keeps everyone busy!

And there is something on offer for everyone at LEH, whether it is music, sport, chess, Karate, Ecology, Rock Stars, yoga, crochet, Cookery and Think Club to name but a few! Our extra- curricular programme is a popular and important part of life at LEH Junior School.

Extra-curricular activities run at lunchtimes and after school and are led by our own teachers as well as visiting coaches and specialists. Full details of all our activities can be found in the Extra-curricular Club booklet.

Music

A wide variety of instruments are taught by our team of dedicated Visiting Music Teachers. Instrumental lessons offered include piano, violin, cello, flute, clarinet, double bass, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French Horn, harp, guitar, singing and percussion.

Many pupils take Associated Board instrumental exams and a good proportion of instrumentalists play in school ensembles.
