WORK
Lessons start early in the morning, running until after five
o'clock - with many interruptions for free time, games and the
various snacks and meals(five in all) which punctuate the day. On
average there are about twelve children in each class. Everyone
studies all subjects with differing degrees of emphasis as they get
older. Children with remedial problems receive additional help. After
Headfort children go on to a wide variety of schools, either in Eire
or abroad.
Free Time
In free time, perhaps three hours a day, we have a very wide
range of activities. As well as the usual sport-related ones, there's
a heated pool, ten acres of playing fields,10 Pentium PCs, endless
(1000 acres+) land to explore and a good supply of other
children
to share interests and hobbies.
There are organized games every afternoon.
Etc.
Naturally we remain healthy (regular medical checks and resident
matrons), eat properly (much food is grown locally), our day to day
concerns are addressed (by sympathetic staff),we work hard (various
checks to see that we do) and parents receive as much feedback as
they could wish (frequent reporting and close contact with the Head).
