Curriculum Plus

Curriculum Plus is our broad and vibrant co-curricular programme, enriching the school experience for young people across all Redhill Trust academies.

We encourage all students to try activities that widen their experiences – through sports clubs, the performing arts, trips abroad, cultural experiences and character-building challenges.

These experiences help young people to develop self-confidence, build resilience and feel a sense of belonging. They also challenge them to learn new skills and find a passion to take with them throughout their life.

You can browse these varied opportunities in our Curriculum Plus Booklet below.

At The Bolsover School, we firmly believe that student life is about more than attending lessons and achieving academic success. In fact, it should extend far beyond this, allowing students to take the opportunity to experience new activities, developing skills and interests for life.

We want all of our students to leave us having experienced as many enriching opportunities and experiences as possible, in order to become well-rounded individuals with a variety of interests and hobbies, in addition to a comprehensive academic experience.

We have developed an extensive offer of Curriculum Plus activities that pupils can participate in on a weekly basis, and we would encourage each and every student to try to attend at least one of the activities outlined in the Curriculum Plus guide. Many of the activities take place during break and lunchtime and so are easily accessible.

For after-school activities, we offer a free mini-bus service (the 'Late Bus') on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday – a place on the late bus must be booked on the day at Student Services.

All after-school activities finish at 4pm.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr Walmsley - r.walmsley@thebolsoverschool.org.uk

Late Bus

To allow a greater proportion of students to remain on the school site for Curriculum Plus activities, the school provides minibus transport through a third party provider.

On a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we provide a free late bus to transport students to the outlying villages after Curriculum Plus sessions have finished.

Any student wanting a space on the late bus must visit Student Services to provide their name and destination, no later than lunchtime on the day transport home is required, as limited spaces are available.

Please note that the buses may travel around several villages before reaching your own home village. Please do not be alarmed if the journey takes up to 30 minutes from the time of departure.

All pupils remaining on school premises after 3pm are registered, and a further register is taken as students are collected by the late bus.
