"The Wider Curriculum at Swanshurst school will offer a ‘Swanshurst Pledge’ –
that students will leave with a wide breadth of the enriching experiences
and powerful knowledge that they will need in the future.
These enriching experiences will be fun and engaging for all students who will be
encouraged,supported and praised through the wider curriculum. This will allow students
to address gaps in knowledge and to make deep connections within their curriculum."

How do I join a club?
It is free to join any of our clubs!
1. Look at the club timetable and decide which clubs you wish to join.
2. Get your parents to write a note in your planner, giving their permission for you to attend the club along with their signature. Make sure you know how are you are getting home.
3. Turn up to the location shown on the timetable and enjoy!
If you have any questions about a club, please speak to Mrs Grundy in the centre gym PE office.
Why should I attend an extra-curricular club?
