At Sir Peter Hall School, we pride ourselves on personalising the offer we provide to each pupil, in the belief that by trying new things and broadening their experiences they will reach their full potential with us.
Our extra-curricular provision extends beyond the classroom, taking advantage of local facilities and activities, and offering a variety of learning environments to our pupils. Some activities will take place on site and some elsewhere.
Extended Learning Area
Our pupils have the opportunity to develop their life skills during supervised visits around the local area. This is fully risk assessed and this document is available upon request.
We encourage our pupils to see themselves as members of a wider community and multiple communities. They are a pupil at our school but also represent our school in the locality. They also wear their uniform when they travel home or where they live.
Sports
Sports and physical activity is really important to us at SPHS. We have sports clubs at the start of each day and at lunchtimes – basketball, football, dodgeball all get a look in. Many of these clubs operate across the school year groups where all ages get to play together as part of one school. We do also have set clubs for specific age groups too.
Sports fixtures are arranged with neighbouring schools and sister schools within our trust. We choose teams as a collective where pupil captains and staff look to encourage participation by including all of those that want to play.
We believe that enjoying sport through participation is the most important driver but that competition and teamwork are also to be celebrated.
Film Club
Film club is a pupil request to provide a calm and safe space to enjoy lunchtime and enrichment time. Film Club supports positive social interactions, friendship building and opportunities to self-regulate.
Forest School
Pupils can access Forest School, providing opportunities for outdoor learning, with a focus on social, emotional and physical well being and development. Outdoor learning can help our pupils develop confidence, help nurture new skills and assist with their well being and mental health.
Innov8 Workshops
Innov8 is a neighbouring provider who believe in the power of vocational experiences, paired with one to one mentoring. Vocational courses are run in high quality and well equipped workshops and pupils are able to benefit from accessing courses such as wood work, bike maintenance, a hair salon and fitness.
Pathways Skills Academy
