Hayley explains: “A co-curricular activity or lesson is often the one part of a young person’s education they are in total control of, and in which they are not judged on their performance. A healthy school enrichment programme, like the one we have here at King’s Ely, is one that challenges students to give things a go, to explore the activities on offer and potentially develop passions outside of the academic realm. Co-curriculum enables students to have their voices heard.
