Happy outside the classroom

Hobbies, skills and experiences

Our teachers and other staff seek to discover and nurture at least one special talent within each child.  There is something for everyone in our extracurricular programme which is packed full of music, dance, and drama and sport. 

Typical outings and trips include learning about World War II at the Imperial War Museum, exploring the solar system at the Science Museum and experiencing ancient civilisations at the Horniman Museum. To help bring their lessons on the Tudors alive, pupils also visit Ightham Mote in Sevenoaks for an interactive, theatrical day of learning.

Every pupil has a friend

We want the Academy to feel friendly and welcoming and we always make sure that every pupil has at least one friend. Our children are taught to respect each other and their teachers. 

There is a zero tolerance approach to any type of bullying.

Traditional standards of behaviour

Our Academy is relaxed and comfortable but pupils know that good behaviour is expected of them. They are frequently praised and rewarded for trying their best and for being kind, hard-working and well-behaved.

Healthy and tasty meals

Our school lunches and other snacks and meals are healthy as well as tasty. Pupils may bring in packed lunches if they prefer. 

Wrap-around care

Our Breakfast Club and After School Club for all Haling Park children, is run by Holiplay.  Please come along and pick up an application form from the office.

Extra curricular activities

We have a range of extra curricular activities, these include Taekwondo, Street Dance, Football and Ballet.  We also offer private piano and drumming lessons. The clubs are well organised and fun.

If you are interested in or require any further information about the above, please contact the Academy office and a member of the office team will be happy to help.
