Somersfield Academy has launched a programme designed to provide students with a diverse range of extracurricular experiences.

The Co-Curricular Activities programme aims to enhance the school's curriculum that combines Montessori beginnings with an International Baccalaureate finish.

Emma Moran-Lee, director of activities at Somersfield Academy, said: "Our CCA programme is designed to create well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also develop life skills, social connections, and a deeper appreciation for the world around them.

“By introducing activities like surfing, cooking, fishing and free-diving, among others, we aim to broaden our students’ horizons and instil values such as teamwork, perseverance and a passion for exploration.”

The school said the CCA programme plays a pivotal role for middle year students as they transition from childhood to adolescence.

Riki Teteina, head of school, said: "At Somersfield Academy, we believe that education extends far beyond textbooks and exams.

“Our CCA programme underscores our commitment to providing students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in an ever-changing world. We look forward to seeing our students thrive in these exciting new activities."
