In the past two years we have added a set of iPods, two full-class sets of iPads, around 50 new laptops across the school and we have provided each teacher with an iPad. We are in the process of installing Apple TV in each classroom. We are constantly updating our facility to move with the rapidly developing world of technology.
THE ARTS
At Cherry Orchard we use the Arts to promote learning and to widen opportunities for children. Music is particularly strong. Our music tuition programme is very popular and there is the opportunity to learn the flute, fife, violin, keyboard, guitar, clarinet, cello, or piano. Children practice in groups and form ensembles for concerts at intervals throughout the year. Every child in Year 4 is taught a musical instrument for a full term, for free, via the county’s ‘Play To Learn’ scheme.
Dance is encouraged to a high standard
through Physical Education and the
dance clubs formed to prepare for our school productions. These productions are also an impressive showcase for children’s singing, set design and acting talents.
Past productions have included Joseph, We Will Rock You and Shakespeare Rocks!
