Extra-Curricular
At Orsett Heath Academy, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom. Our extra-curricular programme provides students with opportunities to develop new interests, build confidence, develop their talents and play an active part in school life.
Our programme supports our values of Courage, Effort, Potential and Respect and encourages every student to become involved in the wider life of the school.
Our Extra-Curricular Offer
Throughout the academic year, students have access to a broad and varied programme of activities. Opportunities may include:
- Sport and physical activity
- Music and performing arts
- Creative arts
- Subject and academic enrichment
- Clubs and societies
- Leadership and student voice
- Competitions and events
- Wider personal development opportunities
The programme is reviewed and updated during the academic year so that students can benefit from a range of different opportunities.
Getting Involved
We encourage all students to participate in extra-curricular activities and to try something new.
Details of the current extra-curricular timetable, including activities, days, times and locations, are published below and communicated to students through the school.
Some activities may run at particular points in the year or have a limited number of places. Students should speak to the relevant member of staff if they would like further information about a particular activity.
Proud to Belong. Proud to Achieve.
Taking part in the wider life of Orsett Heath Academy is an important part of the OHA experience. Through enrichment, we want students to discover their strengths, develop new skills, build positive relationships and create experiences beyond the classroom of which they can be proud.
We encourage every student to get involved, make the most of the opportunities available and be Proud to Belong and Proud to Achieve.
