Education is more than just mastering English and maths - it's also about activities that extend children's learning through new experiences and opportunities. At St Francis we provide a broad range of opportunities to learn and develop outside of the classroom. These opportunities foster skills such as resilience, active listening, confidence, self-esteem and team work. We strive to give children memorable experiences they wil remember for years to come.
