Extra Curricular Opportunities

Our wider curriculum offer is updated each term. Each activity is developed with one of our 4 pillars of cultural capital: Leadership, Culture, Skills and Character. For further explanations of these areas please see the cultural capital page in curriculum or read our INVOLVE booklet that describes each club.

Pillars Cultural Capital

Extra Curricular Activities

Achieving Certificates through INVOLVE(our extra-curricular clubs programme)

We have signed up with AQA and the UAS scheme (Unit Award Scheme) to give students the opportunity to achive a range of certificates for attending clubs.

The certificates could form part of your child’s CV and demonstrate their commitment to developing their cultural capital. The clubs that offer certificates are listed below.

As a school we have paid the registration fee, but if your child would like to achieve official accreditation from AQA there will be a cost of £30 (this is not necessary to join a club because they are free! AQA certificates are an optional extra). Signing up for AQA certificates will give them access to every certificate on offer for the full year. You can do this through MyChildatSchool (MCAS). As these are through AQA, students will have to commit to a club for at least half a term to achieve the certification. This is also one of the requirements for the SAINT pledges and their KS3 Graduation also, so a win win!

If you have any queries please get in touch via the academy email.
