Session 6 includes all the activities that we run after school from 3.10-4.10. These include, clubs, revision sessions, supported study time, production rehearsals, G and T activities and fixtures (these may run later than 4.10pm) etc.
Each term we offer a variety of activities that students can take part in to enrich their curriculum. Most of these activities are free, though a few of them incur a mandatory charge to cover the costs of materials. This will need to be paid for via ParentPay before the club date, to secure the place. If your child is in receipt of FSMs and would like to attend a paid club, please get in touch with Finance@abbeyparkschool.org.uk as we may be able to help out with this.
Attendance at session 6 is compulsory for students who fail to hand in homework or are behind in their work or as a direct consequence of poor behaviour (parents are notified the previous day).
Please check each term for the new timetable.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is the world’s leading achievement award for young people. Their aim is to create a world where young people can reach their full potential whatever their circumstances. This nationally-recognised award perfectly illustrates the school’s commitment to offer high quality extra-curricular provision to complement excellent academic attainment.
The components of the award also reflect the school’s desire to equip students with relevant life skills that will also serve them well as they make their way toward Higher Education and employment.
The school offers Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze and Silver Awards. Students from Years 9-11 undertake challenges posed by the different aspects of this award. The award is achieved by completing a personal programme of activities broken down into sections (see below). More details about the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme can be found at: www.dofe.org.
