CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMME Spring Term 2 : 2024

Welcome to our co-curricular brochure for the second half of the Spring Term. This brochure will give you details about the different co-curricular clubs that will be on offer, starting from the first day back after the February half term holiday.

Our co-curricular programme offers our pupils not only safe and quality wrap-around care, but the opportunity to develop skills and learn new things outside of their lessons.

This year we are making a change in the way we view our clubs, with each one focusing on one of our Grovian Values.

Our clubs are provided by school staff and by external providers (*please remember that external providers offer their clubs at an additional charge).

Additionally, this year, we have launched a Grovian Passport to help celebrate the huge range of clubs that our pupils get involved in.

When pupils go to their club, they can take their passport with them for it to be ‘signed’, recognising their work towards that Grovian Value. When they have completed their passport, they will receive special recognition for their hard work.

I am Grovian.
