In order to grow as a person it’s important to have a range of positive interests.  We all need to learn how to:

• win and lose with equal grace.
• cope with challenging circumstances in a safe environment
• feel what it is like to perform in front of others
• build new friendships

Our extra-curricular programme will help you to grow into a confident and mature young person who is ready to cope with challenge.

Typically, students have access to clubs outside of lessons in all major sports (e.g. netball, rugby, hockey, football, cricket, rounders, tennis and athletics).

We also run a varied programme of tuition and performance in music and drama.

Many subjects run clubs to promote intellectual growth and participation such as our debate club and politics.

For more information see link below for this current academic year.

• Extra-Curricular Clubs

We have over a hundred students learning an instrument, or taking singing lessons, at Wellsway.  Lessons take place throughout the school day on a rotating basis.  We encourage all students who learn an instrument to take part in a weekly extra-curricular activity such as our orchestra, Year 7 music makers or choir.  We use West of England Music Alliance (WEMA) as our provider of instrumental and singing teachers.  This means that you will be directly invoiced for lessons via WEMA.  Students can sign up for shared lessons or individual lessons of varying lengths.  Please be aware that it is not always possible to facilitate shared lessons but we’ll do our best!  You can hire instruments from WEMA.  If your child receives free school meals, they are entitled to free instrumental/singing lessons – simply tick the box when asked on the form, we will then confirm this is correct.  Students can learn the following instruments, violin, piano, flute, clarinet, sax, trumpet, trombone, tuba, drum kit, bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and singing lessons.
