Sports

Sport plays an integral role in the curriculum at Charterhouse Square School. Sports are taught throughout the day by experienced and qualified coaches. Furthermore, the whole school gets the opportunity to exercise at lunchtime, when we are permitted to use the garden in Charterhouse Square for 45 minutes.

Activities that run throughout the school year:

Aerobics

Taught to the Yellow and Blue Rooms by a professional dance coach.

P.E.

All classes follow a varied PE curriculum, the Green Room using Charterhouse Square garden and the rest of the school using the all weather courts at Golden Lane Leisure Centre.
