At Legacy we strive for academic excellence. However, we also want our children to become well-rounded, capable individuals who can succeed outside of the school environment. Studies show children who are physically active perform better academically. Sport is a major focus here. To encourage healthy habits young, children will play regular and competitive sport during the school day as well as after school. Sport encourages team spirit, strategic thinking, respect and enables children to think on behalf of a group not just as individuals. We will teach football, volleyball, basketball, badminton, athletics and karate. We also offer a horse-riding day every year and our older children will form sports teams to take part in inter-school competitions as well as competitions within the school.

Music and drama will be an integral part of our teaching during the school day, incorporated into all our lessons including English, Arabic, Religion, History, Geography and even Mathematics for our younger pupils. Each class takes at least two trips a year. Our older pupils will run a school newsletter where they learn about journalism, practice writing and learn how to tell you about what they are doing at school themselves.

We hold a yearly ‘puberty’ talk for both girls and boys to understand what is happening to their bodies as they enter adolescence and how to manage it, also from a religious perspective. We hold ‘teen talks’ for our older pupils where they discuss issues important to their daily lives, and social studies classes for our younger pupils teach them about behaviour and societal responsibilities.

Our Student Council helps the children to take responsibility for their school environment and their own learning.
