Co - Curricular
A key component in the delivery of a well-rounded education, our co-curricular programme develops the whole child and affects almost all areas of school life. By engaging in these opportunities and experiences, pupils develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills that are needed to work in a rapidly globalising world, whilst enhancing their enjoyment of school life.
At St Nicholas’, our co-curricular programme refers to the academic, personal, spiritual, creative and physical development of every pupil, alongside a sound understanding of community.
As a through school, we have the unique opportunity to monitor and support the progress of every pupil according to their strengths and abilities at each key stage. Offering experiences that are meaningful and child-centred is our focus, whether that be exploring Forest School in Early Years lessons, participating in the popular Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, or even working alongside teaching specialists during Activity Weeks.
A broad and balanced co-curricular programme develops social skills, nurtures a willingness to take risks, boosts confidence and enhances the development of leadership skills whilst also providing inspirational role models in our senior girls for the younger children in our community, continuously preparing our pupils for a life after St Nicholas’.
In this section of the website please explore some elements of our co-curricular programme in more detail.
