Extra-curricular
Education outside of the classroom is integral to the Belper experience. Our Wider Curriculum provides students with a variety of activities at lunchtimes and afterschool as well as offering many trips which both enrich the curriculum and broaden their experiences. This year, we are extending the idea of ‘Everyone Involved, Everyone Engaged’ from the classroom to the wider curriculum with the aim of as many students as possible experiencing what we have on offer.
Sixth Form students often adopt various charities and host fundraising events on their behalf. Fancy dress days, sponsored sports and discos have been some of the ways in which both local and national charities have been supported.
We encourage all Year 12 students to undertake at least one placement in July during Enrichment Week. Tutors and the Careers Team are able to assist in finding suitable placements. Students can undertake placements in their holidays but these are not covered by the school.
This is not just about developing students own employment skills, but rather about giving back to the community. Students volunteer within a range of local organisations, including working within Belper School and Sixth Form Centre. A major success of recent years has been establishing a network of In Class Support where students are able to help younger students in lessons.
