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
