Co-Curricular Programme
What is a co-curricular programme?
A programme consisting of enriching opportunities outside the normal curriculum (class time), which complements the curriculum, such as:
- trips
- visits
- co-curricular clubs
- sports
- school productions
- instrumental lessons
- learner voice & fundraising
- other “one off” opportunities such as Careers Week
Why is a co-curricular programme important?
- Discover and develop learners' talents and interests
- Broadens learners' horizon
- Supports mental and physical health
- Develops learners' character, improving their confidence, resilience, and independence, for example.
- Deepens learners' understanding, or knowledge or skills learnt in the classroom.
- Prepares learners for the next stage of life, and education.
What co-curricular clubs are available?
There are posters around the school advertising the clubs which are available.
- Signing up for clubs is by Google Forms which will be sent home to parents and carers.
- Most clubs are open to all learner. However, they may need to check if you are in the correct year group for particular clubs.
- Learners must also ask their parents/carers for permission to attend an after-school club and let them know the time they will arrive home afterwards.
- Most clubs finish at 4:15pm.
