Wider Education

Wider Education is an opportunity for our Year 9 & 10 students to participate in activities or day trips over three days at the end of the year. The Wider Education programme covers a wide range of learning intentions that support the developing of our students’ social interaction, key competencies and team skills.

Students can choose a Wider Education activity that provides an opportunity to try something that they normally would not do. It could be an activity that would challenge their threshold or alternatively an activity that is low impact and relaxing. There are a range of options that will cater all our students with our Wider Education programme. It is a popular event that students look forward to at the end of the year.
