and generous...

I am kind

Welcome to our Co-Curricular brochure for the second Spring Half Term of this year. This brochure will give you details about the different co-curricular clubs that will be on offer, starting from when we return to school after the February Half Term.

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. Each evening, and across the year, we offer a range and variety of academic, creative and sporting clubs, operated by our own staff as well as by external providers.

Academic Clubs

Pupils have the opportunity to apply their academic studies and develop them further in a range of subjects from our expert staff.

Sporting Clubs

Develop your skills in a range of sports and physical challenges. Work to improve, compete against yourself and compete against others.

Creative Clubs

Our staff put their wide range of creative interests and skills at the disposal of our pupils, offering a mixture of artistic options.

External Providers

There are a wide range of different clubs, run by experts, who we invite in to school to enhance our co-curricular offer. These clubs are offered at a charge.

We hope you enjoy looking through our offer for this half term.

We are always excited to share a range of our skills and talents with our pupils and we’re looking forward to the next half term!
