Additional Activities
In addition to music, drama and sport, Wakefield Tutorial Preparatory School has extra curricular activities
in many areas including art, chess, computing, debating, embroidery, first aid and German.
Gardening Club
The children recently prepared a number of planters which they filled with flowers. These were eventually used as part of the Morley in Bloom competition. The pictures show (left) the beginnings of the project, and (right) the results, with some of the tired and happy - but dirty! - gardeners.
Inter-House Quiz
This is an annual event contested by teams from the Junior Department chaired by a guest quizmaster.
Recorders at the Revue

For several years the school has entered teams for the St John Ambulance inter-school first aid competition.
External Competitions
We are keen for our children to participate in any opportunities that arise outside school. In the past these
have included technology, art and poetry competitions, debates, music festivals, hand writing etc.
Competition brings a unique excitement and our pupils are encouraged to celebrate all achievement,
however great or small.

School Visits
Where appropriate educational visits are arranged to places of interest in the area. All outings are managed
strictly in accordance with the School's Educational Visits and Trips Health and Safety Policy. A suitable
teacher-pupil ratio is observed with additional assistance of parent helpers.
Wakefield Tutorial Preparatory School has its own transport for small groups. This is a licensed public service
mini-coach, and all drivers are PSV/PCV qualified. The vehicle is maintained to a very high standard and is
fully fitted with lap and diagonal seat belts.

Parents/Teachers Association
The School has a very active PTA that has a number of fund raising activities and social events during the year. The proceeds from these events are used to fund prizes at Speech Day, the children's Christmas party etc. as well as capital projects at the school. There is a small annual subscription for family membership.
