| At John Bramston we encourage all students to extend
their expertise in interests that they already have and also to explore
new interests and skills. Each week throughout the term clubs and
activities are run at lunch time and after school, and during the
year study visits are organised, not only locally, but nationally
and abroad.
The types of study visits, activities and clubs that your daughter
or son could join are very varied and tailored each year to the
needs and interests of our students.
The school has full use of the superb Bramston Sports Centre during
the day and this provides the opportunity for students to take
part in a large number of different sporting activities. There
is the opportunity to represent the school in athletics, basketball,
hockey, soccer, netball and volleyball. The teams are successful
and there is intense competition for places. In addition to this
there are general sporting opportunities such as badminton, dance,
squash, swimming, trampolining and weight-training which are offered
to all students in a wide range of clubs. The school also has swimming
galas and sports days for each year group in the school.
Creative activities include a school orchestra and chamber orchestra,
choirs, design and technology and drama, and other clubs and activities
offered include computing, chess, games and quizzes, public speaking,
discos and the school library.
Additionally, the school has a wide programme of study visits
not only on a local basis - including trips to public libraries,
churches and the zoo - but also nationally through field trips
for subjects such as geography and biology. The school also organises
visits abroad, including language exchange visits.
We have excellent school productions, where the music and drama
departments join forces to give students the opportunity to take
part in concerts, musicals and plays.
We have many contacts with local business and industry, whereby
we are able to run events and competitions to introduce students
to the many opportunities offered by local employers and by local
clubs such as the Witham Rotary Club.
