Fridays is a Special 'Fun' Learning Day with all age groups integrating together. There are visiting Theatre Groups who inter-act with the pupils, Artists who help teach the pupils their skills, IT Professionals who encourage the children to use Computers and 'Video Cameras'. The childen also play 'Investigative Maths' games etc., leading to a unique learning experience.
