Junior Activities
at Bradford Grammar Junior School
Out of the classroom
Formative experiences are par for the course at Bradford Grammar School, complementing pupils’ academic studies to bring vibrant personalities to the fore.
Junior School
Co-curricular
We actively encourage pupils to partake in co-curricular activities and set aside ample time for our pupils to pursue their interests. Arts and crafts, debating, Junior Duke of Edinburgh – the list goes on!
Engaging in such experiences allows our pupils to extend their learning beyond the classroom, and to explore their talents and abilities in a range of different settings.
We offer a wide and varied range of free co-curricular activities which mainly take place during the lunch break. All pupils are encouraged to participate in at least two different activities each week. These may include netball, hockey, rugby, swimming, cross country, cricket, football, indoor rowing, athletics, table tennis, Irish dance, computing, Lego, weaving, art, colour and calm, gardening, choir, orchestra, wind band, string group, rock band, and samba band.
School trips
Our children love going on school trips every term from Reception onwards. Some visits are educational, for example to Eden Camp Modern History Museum, and others are just for fun!
Our residentials are open to those from Year 2 and above to places such as the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Children thrive during these trips, learning about teamwork and problem solving, and gaining independence and confidence as they try activities such as canoeing, kayaking, caving, hiking and gill scrambling.
Our aim is to create happy memories, instil a taste for adventure and expand their horizons which we hope will be with them for life. Read about some of our school trips in our Hoc Age magazine.
