Wider Opportunities
As a school we offer the children opportunities to develop skills outside the National Curriculum, through a weekly clubs. Adults share the skills they have acquired through their life experiences and offer these to the children. Enriched curriculum activities have included: Ukelele, dance, basketball, arts and crafts, ice hockey, much more.

Children's University
In line with our vision statement and our drive to ensure all our children are equipped with skills for adulthood. We work in partnership with The University of Kent to deliver Children’s University.
Children’s University encourages children to try out new experiences, develop new ideas and acquire new skills through participation in a range of learning activities outside of the school day. These learning activities are designed to
Raise aspirations, self-esteem and self confidence
Encourage curiosity and a love of learning
Enhance motivation and build resilience
Introduce new life experiences
The children are given passports where they record the additional learning experiences; one stamp for every hour of accredited activity. On completion of 35 stamps the children take part in an in-school graduation and on the completion of 65 stamps the children attend a graduation ceremony at the University of Kent.
Some of the clubs include:
Hockey Club
Badminton Club
Drama
Art
Dance
Film
Reading Café
Youth Club
PGL
Pupils in Year 6 have the opportunity to experience life-enriching adventures and make memories to cherish for life. PGL has been a great success for the past four years since we have been doing it. Throughout the weekend in PGL, pupils work as a team and push their own limits through activities such as the giant swing, rifle shooting, abseiling, canoeing and zip-wire. They grow in confidence and resilience and more importantly they have a fantastic time.
Here are what some of the pupils had to say about their experiences:
"I faced my fears" Callie
"Spending extra time with friends was so much fun, we knnew each other better at the end." Przemek
"I achieved things I never knew I could!" Jenny
"The zip-wire was crazy, it felt like you could see the whole world!" Alex
