ACTIVITIES

Trips and Visits

Trips and visits linked to studies and for pleasure form an important part of our curriculum. They are planned to enhance pupils’ learning by giving them first hand experiences that are memorable and fun.

In years five and six, children can visit residential centres, which offer a variety of exciting and challenging opportunities to be shared with friends, under qualified instruction and supervision, in a safe controlled environment.

Parents are asked to contribute towards the cost of trips, but all transport is subsidised from PTA funds.

Performances

We encourage all our children to perform before an audience in regular school productions. We want every child to be confident and to enjoy participating in plays, musicals, concerts dance and eisteddfodau.

Sport

Pupils from year 1 to year 6 are able to take part in a variety of sports including football, rugby, netball, hockey, athletics, swimming, rounders and cricket. 

Borderbrook School hosts a sports fun day for neighbouring small schools each summer.

Cycling Proficiency

Year 6 pupils take part in road safety training during the summer term. This is provided free of charge by Wrexham Road Safety Department.  Pupils are tested on the Highway Code and road safety and in practical awareness and skill.  Successful candidates gain a Cycling Proficiency Certificate.

After school clubs

A wide range of After School Clubs is offered throughout the year.

Charities

In addition to ‘Red Nose Day’ and ‘Children in Need’ we nominate one charity each year which we support through sponsored events.

Visitors          

We welcome visitors from many walks of life and for many purposes. These visits provide children with links to the wider community and a sense of their place within it. We also welcome other professionals who visit to observe ‘good practice’.

PTA

The PTA meets regularly to plan and discuss events. Funds raised subsidise transport costs and provide ‘extras’ to enrich the curriculum. Recent purchases include webcam upgrades, digital video recorder and car booster seats to meet the recent change in the law. All parents are automatically members and we welcome members of the community who are keen to support their local school.
