Saturday Enrichment at Swanbourne House | Independent Prep Years 5–8

What is our Beyond programme?

Our Beyond co-curricular programme is a mix of workshops, clubs and activities designed to help pupils grow beyond the classroom, with opportunities across sport, creativity, STEM and literacy. Whether trying something completely new or developing an existing passion, we hope every child will have fun, build new skills and discover fresh interests throughout the term.

The programme is dynamic and ever-changing, with each term offering a fresh set of opportunities — from sport and adventure to arts, music and technology.

Clubs and activities (aside from some specialist coaching sessions such as Golf and Tennis) are included in core school fee.

Sports & Physical Activities

Pupils can choose from a wide variety of clubs that have included football, hockey, badminton, rugby, lacrosse, fencing, trampolining, skiing, squash, sailing, mountain biking, athletics and golf. These activities complement our core PE and Games provision, offering extra opportunities to develop skills as well as try something new.

Creative Arts & Performance

Creativity flourishes through enrichment in art, music, and drama. Clubs have included art & crafts, embroidery, jewellery making, model design, puppeteering, music technology, songwriting, Saturday Song Club and Pop & Rock Club. Pupils also enjoy extended opportunities in musical ensembles, theatre productions, and exhibitions.

Languages, Skills & Discovery

We offer more than sport and the arts. Our co-curricular programme offers pupils the chance to explore new interests and develop skills beyond the classroom. From Mandarin and chess to gardening, baking, and newspaper writing, children are encouraged to challenge themselves in creative and practical ways. Opportunities such as Explorers’ Club, outdoor cooking, augmented reality, laser tag and even snooker, help pupils discover new talents and passions.
