Bulwell Boost: Extracurricular
Attend our Bulwell Boost sessions to connect with friends.
The Bulwell Boost extracurricular programme is designed to give students wider opportunities to further explore their interests, develop their skills and knowledge or discover new activities.
We offer a wide range of activities over lunchtimes and after-school with the aim of enhancing student enjoyment, personal connections between staff and pupils and the development of key skills which will enable students to succeed in school and in life.

Our Bulwell Boost after-school clubs can be found in the Arbor Parent App (look for Clubs in the Activities area).
Parents/Carers must provide consent for their child to attend any after-school activities through Arbor Parent before their child attends any sessions.
