The ‘wider curriculum’ refers to an experience of learning which goes beyond the limitations of the curriculum in the classroom and are valuable life experiences open to all students. It is based on an understanding that a student’s experience of school must involve far more than the number of qualifications they have gained.

These activities help broaden minds, foster new friendships and equip our students to face the challenges of an ever-changing world. These activities take place alongside extra- curricular activities and are a valuable part of the personal development programme.

Potential activities include:

  • Learning a musical instrument
  • Competitive sports competitions
  • Chester Zoo visit
  • Local coast
  • Local walks
  • Visits abroad e.g. Paris, Krakow
  • Meeting Speakers on Personal Development Days
  • Careers Fairs
  • Debating Competitions
  • Writing Competitions
  • Visits to the theatre
  • Theatre companies performing in school
  • International Women’s Day
  • Mental Health Week
  • European Day of Languages
  • Charity events
  • Fair Trade Fortnight
  • Anti-bullying Week

We encourage all students to get involved in our wide-ranging wider curriculum programme and have an incredibly diverse range of activities available. Ultimately our goal is to achieve 100% student participation.
