Year 7 students also have the opportunity to experience residential visits. In the autumn term, a large party visit the Menai centre in Anglesey where they take part in a variety of activities including drama, art and outdoor activities. We regard this as being a particularly worthwhile experience. In addition, there are many other trips and visits arranged by different departments, both in this country and abroad. There is also the possibility of music tuition in various instruments by visiting teachers.
Sports Fixtures
In addition to the PE Enrichment Clubs, we also offer opportunities to compete against other schools in a range of competitions, including Football, Netball, Rugby, Basketball and many more. Students are selected for these opportunities based on how they perform in lessons and their attendance at relevant extra-curricular clubs. The dates of these fixture can vary, so students are provided with a letter in advance of the competition, to confirm their selection/availability. It is essential that the PE department are informed at least one day in advance, if a student cannot attend a fixture, so that we can offer the place to someone else
Links with local sports clubs and other sports specialists
Students have easy access to many sporting clubs in the area. We advertise many open events. Particular links have been made with Chester Volleyball Club and Cheshire Phoenix Basketball Club and Ellesmere Port Rugby Club.
The school invites visiting coaches to take sessions either during curriculum time or at the evening school clubs. These have included the sports of football, tennis, rugby and archery in recent sessions. It is hoped that these links will be continued and increased in the future.
