Extracurricular Activities and Clubs
WHAT are we aiming for?
Our carefully planned extended curriculum aims to provide children with a range of experiences and opportunities, which foster and nurture their interests and talents whilst also enriching our subject-specific curriculum. Our extended curriculum supports children’s personal growth, provides equal opportunities for all and, most importantly, creates life-long memories.
How do we achieve this?

Trips/Residentials
School day trips and residentials play a vital role in enhancing the educational experience for pupils. They offer valuable opportunities to go beyond the confines of the classroom and engage in hands-on, experiential learning.
Our provision offers:
- An enriched subject-specific curriculum in the form of school day trips which are planned and designed to complement and enrich the subjects taught in the classroom.
- Experiential learning where children actively participate, observe, and interact with their surroundings. This deepens their understanding, encourages critical thinking, and fosters a sense of curiosity and exploration.
- Social and personal development: Our day trips and residentials offer pupils the opportunities to develop social and personal skills.
- Cultural and global awareness: Our trip offer includes visits to different cultural or historical sites which expose them to diverse perspectives, traditions, and ways of life. This helps broaden their horizons, develop cultural sensitivity, and foster an appreciation for diversity.
- Lifelong memories: Our day trips and residentials create lasting memories for our pupils. These experiences can be transformative and have a profound impact on their personal and educational journeys.
