At Upper Batley High School, we strongly believe that a truly well-rounded education extends far beyond the classroom. Our extracurricular curriculum plays a vital role in nurturing creativity, building resilience and supporting our learners to fulfil their full potential. We are proud to offer a wide and varied programme of activities designed to meet the interests, talents and needs of all our young people.

Sport - Building Teamwork and Resilience
From football and basketball to table tennis, our sports programme provides learners with opportunities to develop their skills, improve physical fitness and enjoy the excitement of friendly competition. Beyond the physical benefits, participation in sport helps young people develop essential life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, self-discipline and leadership.

Creative Arts - Unleashing Talent
Our creative clubs offer learners the chance to explore and express their talents across a broad range of activities, including art, music, cookery and design. These sessions encourage creativity, collaboration and confidence, while providing a safe and supportive space for learners to celebrate their individuality. For many young people, these clubs ignite a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression.

Forest School - Building Confidence and Leadership
Our Forest School curriculum provides rich outdoor learning experiences that support learners to grow both as individuals and as members of a team. Through practical, hands-on activities, young people develop confidence, resilience and self-esteem - qualities that are essential for success in school and beyond.

We are incredibly proud of the wide range of opportunities available to learners in school, and we actively encourage all young people to engage with our extracurricular offer. Whether discovering a hidden talent, developing new skills or simply enjoying a hobby, these experiences enrich learners’ school lives and make a powerful contribution to their personal development.
