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.
