This academic year, clubs have returned with a bang and we’re proud to announce over 50 enrichment activities that students can take part in. With a programme this huge, there really is something for everyone!
We have loved seeing the return of our long-running sports clubs such as football and dance and seeing the initial sessions of Year 7 and 8 netball take place.
Students from across the year groups jammed together as part of the brand new club, soul band, held on Wednesday lunchtimes. The club is open to all students who fancy exploring their musical talents with their friends!
As part of the creative writing club, our budding JK Rowlings have been working with stimulus pieces and using them as jumping-off points for longer pieces. So far, the group have written paint chart poetry; the art of Frieda Kahlo as a stimulus and, currently, they are planning and writing short stories to enter competitions for Halloween and beyond!
The reading club are currently exploring the wonderful ‘boy at the back of the class’ and recording their reading journey in an A3 scrapbook: the aim is to create a beautiful resource so other students can make an informed decision as to whether or not they want to read it.
An incredibly popular club has been film club, where students have been studying ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and are planning to replicate the techniques used so they can make their own short film set in another world. But it doesn’t stop there: the intention is and accompanying promotional materials, using our very own darkroom to develop their images!
Finally, in debating club, students have got on their soapbox about everything from freedom of speech to gender roles and power structures in society - wow!
What’s been particularly great to see is that many of these clubs have been led and devised by our very own Student Leadership Team who really are role models for all and we’re unbelievably proud of them!
Coming soon after October half term, we are delighted to add ‘Bee-ology’ to our extensive list! In the meantime, check out what’s available below!
