To complement our students’ academic study, we provide a wealth of support, guidance and engagement opportunities that enrich our students’ educational experience and support their learning. Extended learning is not only an out-of-school activity: not every student can find a quiet area at home to complete work.
Any activity that broadens our students’ experience, knowledge and understanding will extend their learning be it home learning or learning beyond the classroom in the school setting. Our academy provides a wide range of extended learning opportunities including access to a variety of online learning programmes, intranet subject resources, small-group catch-up interventions, after-school academic support sessions and well-planned homework to enable students to extend and complement their learning.
To extend our students' experience we provide a programme of trips, visits, events, commemorations and charity work. Our student engagement programmes include elective after-school enrichment activities, offering sporting, performance, craft, social and academic opportunities. Students are also encouraged to engage in programmes such as Student Voice, Honours and Sustainability, or become Anti-bullying and Mental Wellbeing Ambassadors.
There is a wealth of sporting, performance and academic competition engaging students at academy, local, Trust and national levels. Students’ efforts and participation both in and outside of school are validated and acknowledged through the strong praise culture fostered by our academy. Our Trust is currently developing our comprehensive Outwood Honours Programme to encourage and acknowledge our students' participation in both our elective curriculum and activities beyond the classroom. We look forward to introducing this in the near future.
This term we are offering the following clubs so come and join in the fun.
