Co-Curricular Sample Programme
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 ExtraCurricular.” Vicky Gray, Deputy Head, Co-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. With the diversity and vibrancy of our Co-Curricular programme, from ScubaDiving to Mandarin, every pupil has the chance to discover something that sparks their interest. We encourage our pupils to try something different, to gain new experiences and with activities at lunchtime, breaktime and after school, opportunities abound. This booklet shows all the co-curricular activities open to pupils in each section of the school for the Autumn Term 2026 and can be used as a guide for the summer and spring too. Vicky Gray, Deputy Head, Co-Curricular and Operations
