The school began offering karate as part of the curriculum earlier this year, bringing in instructors Tony and Julie Baker.

Head teacher Angela Huthart said: “It’s very popular. The kids find it tough, but it’s meant to be difficult, it develops resilience and self discipline.”

“They respond well to moving through a grading system.”
