Introduction

Welcome from the Deputy Head of Co-Curriculum and Community

Here at Amity, we are committed to providing an outstanding all-round education and life beyond the classroom is an essential aspect of what we offer. We believe that co-curricular activities broaden horizons and encourage key competencies such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Ultimately, we seek to challenge our pupils and provide them with the skills, confidence, and emotional intelligence, which are now considered important if not essential 21st Century competencies. Therefore, we do not consider these afterschool and lunchtime activities as ‘extras’. On the contrary, we expect and encourage all students to participate to a greater or lesser degree. They are ‘co’-curricular activities, not ‘extra’-curricular.

We firmly believe that every child has a great number of talents and passions yet to be discovered. The Amity daily experience is designed to unearth these talents and to develop them to the fullest over time. Using the school’s outstanding campus facilities, involvement in the programmes on offer not only will enable our pupils to be high achievers in their chosen activities, but they are great fun too.

Enjoy and give of your very best!

Gary Willis Deputy Head (Co-Curriculum and Community)
