WE HAVE A COMMITMENT TO E HIGH QUALITY OPPORTUNITIES
PUPILS VALUE THE WIDE RANGE OF EXTRA-CURRICULAR CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES ON OFFER. Ofsted, January 2023
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND OUTSIDE OF THE USUAL CURRICULUM. We believe that these fundamental skills and qualities underpin all career paths and future routes as they provide essential and relevant foundations for future success. Our Arts College origins allow us to provide high quality Arts education for our students and the local community. These experiences and opportunities are enhanced and enriched by a range of masterclasses, workshops and tutorials led by professional and nationally renowned groups. At CHS South, our aim is to nurture and develop each student. We allow students to take part in a range of enrichment activities. These not only enable them to develop their learning and foster creativity, but also widen their experiences and open up new horizons and opportunities to discover talents, passions and interests that they may never have considered before. Extra-curricular activities are an important and exciting feature of school life and contribute enormously to our students’ social and academic development. There is an extensive menu of free extra-curricular activities on offer with opportunities to take part in workshops, field trips and research. We also offer students the chance to experience different cultures through our range of national and international trips and visits to educational venues linked to curricular areas. We intend our students to readily enjoy these experiences and relish the unique opportunities that they are given to extend and expand their learning. CHS South is building an impressive reputation for excellence in sports and the Arts. Extra-curricular groups benefit from working with professional coaches and artists and we regularly field teams in a range of sports with students regularly participating in competitions and tournaments at city wide and regional levels. The Arts are becoming a thriving hotbed of activity with students being able to access and experience a broad and eclectic range of art forms at the highest level. Students perform or exhibit their work in school, as well as in the many professional arts venues across the city to showcase and celebrate their talent. Further Information: • Clubs start straight after school and run until 4.00pm unless otherwise stated. • Students should not leave early from their clubs once they have been registered. • If students are selected to be part of a performance or school team, then they may finish their enrichment activities later than expected. • The school will only cancel a club in extreme circumstances; however, students can go to any running club on the day in this instance. This will be communicated via Arbor or email.
These activities are an important and exciting feature of school life and contribute enormously to our students’ academic and social development.
The vast majority of extra-curricular provision and educational visits are provided voluntarily by teaching and support staff as a commitment to our young people.
Please encourage your child to embrace the vast array of opportunities available to them at CHS South by attending at least one activity.
If you have any questions about the extra-curricular offer please contact Mr Singh at hsingh@chssouth.org.uk
