TERM 3 CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

(UPDATED) 2025-2026

WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR

OF

THE DIRECTOR OF CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES & SPORT CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES & SPORT

COMMUNITY,

Welcome to the Term 3 Co-Curricular Activities Programme (Version 2)

Following the recent period of distance learning, Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are currently on hold as directed by ADEK (as of Tuesday 21st April). The programme will only begin once approval is received. Once confirmed, CCAs will start the following day, or, if approval is granted prior to Tuesday 28th April, the programme will commence on that date following the completion of allocations.

With this in mind, we have taken the opportunity to review and redesign the Term 3 CCA programme to ensure it remains inclusive and of high quality for all pupils. This has been developed in line with current ADEK regulations, including restrictions on outdoor activity and facility use, which have impacted aspects of our provision. Despite this, we believe we have been able to create a strong and engaging programme, including the return of the Upper Primary Science Club and the introduction of additional indoor physical activity CCAs to ensure a well-rounded offer.

For pupils who previously selected CCAs, these choices will remain visible on SOCS. However, due to the adjustments made, some activities have changed, and we strongly encourage parents and pupils to review and, if necessary, amend their selections during the sign-up window.

Key Information

SOCS opens: Wednesday 22nd April

SOCS closes: Monday 27th April

Allocations confirmed: Monday 27th April

Final Words

Term 3 presents a different dynamic this year; however, it remains an important part of the school experience. Through a range of adapted and alternative opportunities, we remain committed to ensuring all pupils can engage, develop and thrive beyond the classroom. We hope to see the return of CCAs very soon and encourage as many pupils to engage as possible!

If your child is unsuccessful with their first choice, they will hopefully receive their second or third option. You only need to select activities that your child is interested in. If they do not wish to participate in an activity, please leave this option blank.

If you experience any difficulties using SOCS, please use the ‘Help & Support’ section in the bottom right corner of the screen.
