Extra Curriculum Activies

Our school is not just about what happens in the classroom. Spennymoor School offers a rich variety of activities which both teacher and student find pleasurable and rewarding.

The following activities go on outside of school hours:

These activities are available to all our students and we actively encourage them all to take part. Through the less formal contact between teachers and students offered in these activities, our young people discover strengths and abilities such as self-reliance, trust, co-operation and leadership potential, qualities which may not emerge through the taught curriculum and which are vital in the process of preparing young people for life in the adult world.

If there is something your child would like to do then all they need to do is ask. If sufficient numbers of students are interested we will endeavour to run that club.
