Wider Curriculum

Please open and read the letter below. Students will need permission from parents/carers to go to after school clubs. Please complete the form at the end of the letter for the relevant clubs.

"The Wider Curriculum at Swanshurst school will offer a ‘Swanshurst Pledge’ –
that students will leave with a wide breadth of the enriching experiences
and powerful knowledge that they will need in the future.

These enriching experiences will be fun and engaging for all students who will be
encouraged,supported and praised through the wider curriculum. This will allow students
to address gaps in knowledge and to make deep connections within their curriculum."

 

At Swanshurst School we are currently working to increase opportunity and availability of Extra curricular activities to our students as part of our Wider Curriculum. As our curriculum intent states, we want these to be available to all students in our community, so please keep checking back to see what we have on offer. Our current offer is below, starting with PE:
