In September we started our Brookes Xtra programme. It is designed to give students’ a ‘taster’ for new sports and activities that sit outside the usual school sports timetable.

These activities do require a small extra fee and take place at the end of the school day. We started the year with golf and off road cycling and as the evenings drew in we moved inside to roller skating and climbing. Each activity is for 1/2 a term. The students abilities were wide ranging but all without exception progessed their skills in any given activity and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
