Beyond the Classroom
At Shebbear, we place a great emphasis on our varied and extensive 360@Sheb Co-Curricular programme, offering over 70 different clubs over the year for our pupils to choose from.
Our 360@Sheb programme focuses on developing the ‘Whole You’ through a wide range of co-curricular activitiesboth on and off campus. Aimed at building confidence, resilience, skill and enjoyment, the programme includes:
L THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES ONCE A WEEK
L A WIDE RANGE OF ON-SITE CLUBS
L A SPORT-FOCUSED ACTIVITIES SESSION FOR EACH YEAR GROUP
L A SPECIALISED PERFORMING ARTS ACTIVITIES SESSION
L ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION SESSIONS EACH WEEK FOR FORMS 1 & 2
360@Sheb is open to all Senior School pupils, with pupils in Prep 5 and 6 having the chance to attend the off-site sessions. Activities change each term but the opportunities are endless and there is always something to suit every pupil.
On Mondays (Form 5 & Sixth Form) and Wednesdays (Forms 1 - 4) our 360 sessions have a focus on team sport. Different age groups take part in different sessions, and our specialist teachers and coaches provide extra team coaching opportunities for technical and tactical development. The focus sports change each term to tie in with Games lessons and fixtures.
For pupils not involved in team sports, there are also other options available, including gym/fitness, cookery, drama, candle making and mosaics.
The Tuesday 360 session (during Period 2, from 11.50am12.50pm) is dedicated to the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA for short), providing the opportunity for weekly rehearsals for our school productions.
The Senior School production takes place in March each year, with rehearsals starting in the Michaelmas Term, and the Middle School Production takes place at the end of the academic year, with rehearsals taking place during the Trinity term.
Our School Productions over the last three years have included Grease, Into The Woods, Les Misérables, West Side Story and The Lion King Jr.
For pupils not involved in CAPA rehearsals, this activity session can be used for private and group study.
One of our main 360@Sheb sessions takes part on a Thursday during Period 4 (11.50am - 12.50pm), when we run a wide range of on-campus activities to suit everyone.
