Extra-Curricular Activities at Bishops

Bishop Rawstorne offers a rich and varied range of extra-curricular activities which provide students with additional opportunities for personal growth, self-development and achievement, as well as improved self-esteem. Other benefits of getting involved include:

  • Development of essential life skills such as goal setting, team work, time management, problem solving, analytical thinking, leadership and public speaking.
  • Creation of new experiences and broader perspectives and increased social opportunities by widening of friendship circles.
  • Keeping active and burning off energy whilst learning a new skill or unlocking a passion or talent within a fun environment.
  • Improved academic performance and overall outlook on school.
  • They can also be something to put on CV's or to help with future college, apprenticeship or job applications.

In addition to the above, students can earn 3 points for every club they attend which accumulate and are added to their achievement points total. Students can also become eligible to achieve an 'Ambassador' award whilst representing Bishops at events or competitions - visit our Awards page for more details: https://bishopr.co.uk/parents/awards.
