Activities Week 2024
I am delighted to announce the launch of our next annual Cheltenham Bournside Activities Week taking place from Monday 8th to Thursday 11th July. House and Sports Day will take place on Friday 12th July (further information to follow).
Activities Week 2024 will offer another ambitious timetable, with four days of exciting trips and opportunities for all of our students from Years 7-10 and 12. Activities Week will offer valuable educational experiences which can’t be delivered during the traditional school day. I know that students will return with stories to tell, increased self-confidence, greater motivation to learn new skills, new friendships and a sense of pride and achievement.
Thank you to all of the teaching and support staff involved in the planning and delivery of these opportunities. It is a huge responsibility to take students off site and to return them safely, especially on a residential trip but we know the value of these experiences and how much the students look forward to, and benefit from them.
Mr Jefferies, Headteacher
