Lemington Riverside Primary School

Extra Curricular

At Lemington Riverside we want our children to develop passions and interests beyond the classroom.

We offer a range of extra-curricular activities both during the normal school day and after school. 

Strong external partnerships:

As a member of the West End School's Trust (WEST) we work in partnership with the following high-profile organisations within our city over the academic year to offer extra curricular activities:
