Extra Curricular

Here at Christ Church CE Academy we take pride in offering our pupils the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We provide a range of opportunities to nurture, develop and stretch pupils' talents and interests.

At the end of Key Stage 2, children get the chance to experience a residential trip. In March 2023 our Year 6 pupils went to Kingswood, Penistone  where they took part in outdoor adventurous activities.

We employ specialist coaches and tutors from Pennine Sports Partnership to support our curriculum during and after school hours.

Social PE

Pupils develop social skills such as conflict resolution, teamwork, communication and trust to improve classroom behaviours and performance. Structured lessons embed routines and encompass core school values.
