We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new co-curricular programme. This new programme, led by Mr Espley and Miss Haith, is designed to enrich, enlighten and complement our students’ formal learning, introducing them to activities beyond the classroom, pushing them to try something new or unfamiliar, whilst developing the soft skills needed to succeed in their chosen pathway. We are committed to ensuring every member of our school community experiences a co-curricular package that provides valuable ‘cultural capital’ and ‘spirituality’ which is evidenced by their very own personal development certificate of achievement. This tracks the student’s enrichment through levels of achievements, including participation, engagement, performance, community, and leadership. The co-curriculum consists of all the experiences our students can access beyond the taught curriculum. Our aim is for every student to be involved with at least one co-curricular activity throughout the year whether that be attending an after-school club or being part of a school trip relevant to their learning. These successes will be rewarded throughout the year via house points for attendance, certificates of achievement and our community will come together in celebration at our end of year summer festival. Students will need to sign up for these clubs by completing an application slip in advance of the first club event, as a register of attendance will be recorded. These can be obtained from any Form Tutor. #WeAreArchbishops #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #SecondaryEducation #CoCurricular

This week’s #FeatureFriday goes to our whole school community. 🎉 What a fantastic day we have had raising funds for BBC Children in Need 2024! The theme for BBC Children in Need this year was “Make Life Lighter for Children”. From the delicious bake sale 🍰, to exciting basketball shooting contests 🏀, sweets-in-a-jar competition🍬, creative poster designs in Art 🎨, and a series of fun world record challenges in the Hall 🌍 everyone had a chance to join in the fun! The winners of each world record challenge received a certificate and a bag of chocolate – congratulations to you all. We would like to say a special thank you to our Sixth Form students for organising and running many of our fundraising events today. We have managed to raise £779.99 so far. This figure includes the very generous donations totalling £98.00 from students willing to give up a personal gift through our rewards shop last year. Those students chose to donate the monetary value of their chosen reward towards Children in Need – this demonstrates their incredible kindness and compassion towards others. @bbccin #WeAreArchbishops #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #SecondaryEducation #Fundraising #ChildrenInNeed2024 #MakeLifeLighter

Today, our school community gathers in respect and remembrance for Armistice Day. We pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served and gave their lives in conflicts past and present. Just before 11:00am, our whole school community joined for a two-minute silence to reflect on their bravery, resilience, and dedication to peace. We remember those who shaped history, like Mary Seacole, whose name graces our Drama room as a reminder of compassion and courage. #WeAreArchbishops #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #SecondaryEducation #LestWeForget #ArmisticeDay #Remembrance

On Tuesday 22 October, we held our annual Dedication Service at Canterbury Cathedral, an event where the whole school walk to our Cathedral to dedicate the work of the school and reflect on our achievements over the past year. The theme for Dedication this year was ‘Courageous Advocacy’. At The Archbishop’s School, we promote a culture of respect, inclusion, and justice, encouraging everyone to take responsibility for creating a positive and safe learning environment. The term ‘Courageous Advocacy’ empowers individuals to act with integrity and compassion, creating a community where all voices are valued and protected. #WeAreArchbishops #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #SecondaryEducation #Dedication #CanterburyCathedral #CourageousAdvocacy
