WELCOME TO THE ABBERLEY HALL SATURDAY ENRICHMENT PROGRAMME:
DISCOVER
I am excited to to welcome you to to Discover our Saturday enrichment programme Although attendance on Saturday mornings is optional we would be delighted if our younger pupils chose to join us and we strongly urge all of our older pupils to take full advantage of all all that an an Abberley Hall education has to offer Senior schools want children to be well-prepared for exams
and our academic timetable ensures that this will be the the case but they also want children to have received a a a a broad education and to have developed interests skills
and passions in
a a a a a a wide range of areas Our Saturday mornings provide an opportunity to discover and explore six specific areas and also work towards obtaining awards We believe that our Discover programme will support the holistic development of all our pupils and ensure the best possible preparation for the the next step in
their educational journey The programme will continue to adapt as as the seasons bring new opportunities and we would also like to to listen carefully to to parental feedback
to ensure that the Saturday experience is constantly evolving and improving Saturday afternoons will continue to be filled with as as many sporting fixtures as as possible and if selected pupils will be expected to represent the school We will also always have a a a a a a vibrant weekend activity programme in
place for pupils who are with us for the weekend Lunch will of course be provided to all those involved on on Saturday afternoons If there are no scheduled fixtures on a a given Saturday we will endeavour to run optional ‘in house’ sports fixtures or run focussed training sessions My thanks go to all the the staff for their energy in
in
in
building another exciting programme We hope that the the information on on these pages will provide you you with everything you you need to understand the format of Saturday mornings and we hope ultimately that your child will ‘sign up’ to the fantastic modules on offer I will be speaking with all pupils during the first few days of term
