An integral part of the TDSS experience is the recreational element provided by the School's spacious grounds; there are tennis courts, an indoor sports hall and a large indoor swimming pool (with lifeguard).

In addition to a variety of organised sports and other events there is the ever popular treasure hunt and ‘midnight’ feast.

One of the busiest locations for children between lessons is the art room where, looked after by dedicated helpers children can paint draw and create their own painted t-shirts.

For parents, there are inspirational talks on Suzuki, his ideas and the practical application of his techniques. At these times, children will be looked after in musicianship lessons.

In the evenings for parents, there is organised music making (Choir, Orchestra, and one evening we shall have candlelit madrigals in the small old chapel). Do please bring your instruments with you.

There are fabulous grass & hard tennis courts available to both children and parents and due to demand last August we shall organise some sessions for parents, The Oratory houses one of the few Real Tennis Courts in the world. If you would like to try this unusual game, experienced coaches are available during the Course for private lessons.

Alexander Technique. Also available are lessons in Alexander Technique, a method of avoiding tension in everyday activity through awareness of balance, posture and movement. Now taught in many schools and colleges it can help the all-round development of a player's potential. Lessons are available, at extra charge, on a first-come first-served basis, and can be booked on the application form or directly with the teacher during the course.
