Extra-CurriculaR Activities 

Here at Downend learning beyond timetabled lessons is a key entitlement for our students. Our extensive enrichment programme offers a breadth of activities where students can try new things, learn new skills, and meet new people: fostering creativity, teamwork, confidence and curiosity through a well rounded and stimulating range of activities for everyone to become involved in. 

Statement of Intent: Enrichment Curriculum

  • to give all students the opportunity to demonstrate their PRIDE values 
  • to promote personal development of all students
  • to give all students access to a wide and rich set of experiences
  • to give all students the opportunity to develop their talents and further their interests

We offer a range of clubs and activities at lunchtime and after school, as well as a well established Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme, and a calendar of trips, visits and enrichments. In addition to this there is a broad programme of sporting fixtures, music tuition and concerts too.
