Music
Music in Key Stage Two is taught by Class teachers. Children who wish to, are able to choose from a range of instruments and attend lessons with peripatetic music staff. This is organised by Jersey Music Service.
Key Stage Two children are also able to join the school choir (see Mrs Crespel).
