At Salterford House School, we have a strong tradition of Music, Drama and Sport encouraging even our youngest children to take part.

Music

All the children from kindergarten to year 6 receive weekly music lessons and from year 1 everyone receives recorder lessons too. We have a wide range of specialist music teachers and our children can choose to play a wide range of instruments, including piano, violin, flute, saxophone, clarinet, drums and guitar. We have a thriving school band that meets weekly to enjoy playing music as well as practising for the concerts, recitals and performances held throughout the year.

Speech and Drama

Our speech and drama lessons are a firm favourite with many of our pupils and all the children enjoy performing the Christmas play for their families and staff. Pupils at Salterford House are also able to take part in our drama club, putting on a full scale, musical production each Easter as well as opting to enter LAMDA examinations that are held twice a year. Another highlight for the children is taking part in the annual ISA drama festival, in which we have won many trophies over recent years, including prizes for the best musical eight years running.

Sport

Our beautiful grounds are the perfect setting for playing outside and we encourage the children to take part in as many sports as possible. Both pre-prep and main school pupils enjoy taking part in PE as well as swimming. They also receive specialist coaching from year 1 in football, rugby, cricket, netball, rounders, tennis and cross-country running. Our teams have regular fixtures against other schools and take part in both local and national competitions.
