Themed Weeks
Once a term we have a themed week, this is in addition to the Dorridge Primary Curriculum work the children are covering.
There is one themed week per term:
Autumn Term - Creative Arts Week.
Spring Term - Science Week.
Summer Term - Healthy Lifestyles Week.
The weeks are enriched with a variety of specialist activities such as theatre workshops, visits to museums, drama workshops, specialist sports coaches, engineering companies, and visiting speakers.
