At Brackenfield SEND School, we believe that extracurricular activities and community participation are vital to the holistic development of every student. These experiences go beyond the classroom, offering unique opportunities for growth, self-expression, and social interaction. Our diverse range of extracurricular programs and visits, including sports fixtures and sports days, to after school clubs and volunteer work, is designed to cater to varied interests and talents, helping students discover their passions and build confidence.

Participation in these activities fosters essential life skills, such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience. It also provides a supportive environment where students can practice and reinforce their academic learning in real-world contexts. Engaging with the community through participation in work experience and local events further enriches their educational journey, promoting a sense of belonging and responsibility.

By encouraging involvement in extracurricular activities and community engagement, our school aims to nurture well-rounded individuals who are prepared to face challenges with creativity and compassion. We are committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere where every student can thrive and contribute to the broader community.

The video case studies created by Active Partnership Nottingham/Derby, showcases the work that we do and shows the high level of engagement from students who participate in these activities. It is also used a training tool for other SEND providers to promote best practice nationwide.
