Supra-Curricular
As W.B. Yeats so wisely put it, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” At Churcher’s, we believe that academic study should be a source of inspiration and excitement, not just the sharing of information. We aim to spark curiosity, fuel passion, and nurture a genuine love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Our supra-curricular opportunities empower pupils to explore their interests in greater depth, to venture beyond the confines of the exam syllabus, and to discover the joy of intellectual adventure.
Bringing learning to life
Supra-curricular activities are an essential element of a Churcher’s education, taking academic study far beyond the classroom. Through our extensive programme of activities, we encourage students to develop their existing interests and explore new ones.
From our youngest children in Nursery, right the way up to our Sixth Formers studying for their A Levels, we provide an unrivalled range of supra-curricular experiences for everyone to enjoy. We encourage children to get stuck in at every age, to try everything, and to make the most of the incredible opportunities we are proud to offer at our school.
Endless Adventures in Learning
From stories brought to life around the campfire in the outdoor classroom for Nursery children, to science trips, art gallery visits, historical adventures, workshops and visiting authors in our Junior School, and international travel, exciting STEAM activities, and prestigious inter-school challenges in our Senior School, the possibilities are endless.
Our pupils relish every opportunity to discover something a bit different or try out a new activity.
We offer a broad and rich programme of activities which support students in their studies, taking learning further through real-world experience, while adding context and new dimensions. The emphasis is on making education enjoyable and encouraging all to engage in discussion, should they so wish.
Academic Extension Opportunities
Pupils at Churcher’s enjoy a rich variety of supra-curricular activities and are warmly encouraged to broaden their horizons, embrace challenges, and discover new passions. Whether diving into a new subject area or developing a long-standing interest, every pupil is supported to grow in confidence, curiosity, and ambition.
