Bromsgrove runs extensive and intensive activitiy programme which encourage initiative, discipline, qualities of leadership, self-motivation and the ability to work with and for others. In many respects the skills acquired from activities are as important as those gleaned from academic work.
So important is the programme that the following sample list includes many activities that require long hours of dedication and commitment from pupils and staff. Competitive activities such as Debating and Young Enterprise involve healthy competition against other schools and colleges. Indeed many of the following could fill a website of their own.
Present options include: Young Enterprise, World Language Club, Weights, Tae Kwondo, Sub Aqua, Studio Recording, Street Dancing, Sailing, Riding, RADA, Photography, Music Appreciation, Kayaking, Jewellery Making, Italian, Guitar Workshops, Film Club, Debating, Crafts, Chess, Ceramics, Aerobics.
During activity sessions timetabled during the School Week, pupils make good use of specialist facilities and staff expertise in Art, Design, Technology, Computing, Drama, Electronics and Music. Many other societies flourish at various times of the week and year.
All Bromsgrove pupils come to realise the School values breadth as an essential route to adulthood. Happy young people need challenging options outside the classroom.
