Session 6

Stamford Welland Academy offers a wide variety of extra-curricular opportunities through a timetabled programme over the year. These encompass traditional activities such as sports, music and additional subject support, and less traditional activities such as military self-defence, RockBand and Green Team.

The academy day extends to 4.15pm for those students who wish to stay for after-school activities or additional curriculum assistance – these sessions are called Session 6’s. It is expected that students will attend at least two Session 6’s a week.

Every curriculum area aims to offer at least one Session 6 after school and we continue to develop other opportunities – for example, Duke of Edinburgh, World Challenge, Army Cadet Force, and Water Sports, as well as elite programmes in rugby, hockey, football, and netball across our partnership with the Trust.

Session 6’s also factor crucially in ensuring our students achieve their absolute best. Tutors will recommend sessions that will be useful if a student needs additional support or clarification. Students can also drop into extra-curricular study support sessions themselves if they are feeling overwhelmed or need assistance.

To support families planning participation in these activities, it should be noted that the timetable above is relevant to the whole year and will be updated in the first few days of each term to accommodate staffing changes and other amendments that need to be made.  The date indicates when the document was amended and not the term to which the schedule is relevant.  An updated version will be issued to families and updated here when amendments are made.
