Loanends Prospectus 2021/22

The Arts (Art and Design, Drama and Music) Pupils are given a variety of opportunities within the classroom to develop their creative and expressive talents. Furthermore, pupils have the opportunity to receive Instrumental Tuition in a variety of brass, wind and string instruments. Tuition is provided by the Peripatetic Music Service fromThe Education Authority, and also through a private arrangement with one of our former parents. This tuition is supported by the Teachers whose expertise in music allows them to consolidate and develop the pupils’ abilities. This, along with excellent parental support, has given us the opportunity to form a school orchestra which meets regularly for rehearsals for school assemblies, carol services and Christmas concerts. The school has traditionally put on a major production at some point in the year, either at Christmas or in January/February. Pupils perform to a high standard both in senior productions and junior Nativity plays. A Harvest Thanksgiving Assembly is again planned for this year. The school choir meets regularly for rehearsals and takes part in assemblies, and in community events.

Personal Development and Mutual Understanding This area of the curriculum gives pupils the opportunity to learn about themselves and how they interact with others and the society or world in which they live. It develops self-esteem and builds confidence and encourages pupils to develop their interpersonal skills, thereby encouraging them to reflect on moral values and become responsible citizens.
