Junior after-school clubs run for pupils from first to third class and senior clubs for fourth to sixth. A parent-teacher association, to which all parents and guardians belong automatically, elects its committee each September and organises events through the year, among them Halloweek, movie nights, an international food day and coffee mornings.

Cycling to school is encouraged, and the school has a mascot that features in its communications with families.
