Co -Curricular Sample Programme (Autumn 2025)
Introduction
"Ballard provides not just the foundation for academic achievement but also for the creation of well-rounded independent thinkers. The range of activities are widely praised and are valued in their own right – in other words, Co -Curricular, not Extra-Curricular.”
Vic ky Gray, Deputy Head , C o-Curricular and Operations
Ballard provides an extensive array of activities designed to enhance pupils' skills, enrich their classroom learning, and challenge both their intellect and creativity.
