Saturday Programme

Our weekly timetable is structured  to strike a balance between academic study and extra curricular activity as we believe this  helps with pupils’ physical, spiritual, social and moral development

We ensure each year group experiences ‘Adventure Days’ in the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park during the year, and also, as part of our second curriculum,  offer pupils a mix of outdoor  activities such as mountaineering, climbing, paddle sports and trail running, as well as creative arts including musical production, cookery, action photography, robotics and video game development. These  options have created a ‘second curriculum Saturday’ leaving weekdays primarily focused on academic lessons.

In the video opposite , Deputy Head (Pastoral), Simon Hill,  talks about  how we combine academic lessons with  a rich extra-curricular programme with plenty of opportunities to experience the outdoors or try a new hobby or skill .
