Co-Curricular Programme

The Co-Curricular programme is an important and integral part of the enrichment of students’ experience at Heathfield. Students discover they have abilities and passions in areas previously unexplored. Our wide and diverse range of Co-Curricular subjects and activities evolve every year to accommodate new trends and interests. This ‘have a go’ attitude is infectious and filters down from the upper year groups, which means that younger students have the confidence to take risks. Heathfield is a safe place to try new things. Students learn where their strengths and challenges lay and are enabled to improve on both.

Through the programme offered, we aim to foster empathy, confidence, ambition and self-discipline.

Every student will experience a variety of cultural, physical, social, intellectual and creative activities either by participating in after school clubs or in weekend activities.

Students in Forms I to III will choose at least three activities a week in which to participate. Students in Forms IV, V and the Sixth Form will be encouraged to participate in and/or organise, after school clubs as well as following their own tailor-made programme in preparation for their next steps.
