Info

Extra-curricular Extra-curricular activities are made available to all our students and are varied, rewarding and fun. Everyone is encouraged to participate, as we believe sharing experiences plays an important role in a child’s development. Our diverse programme of opportunities outside the classroom encourage life-skills and stimulate self-discovery, risk-taking and adventure. There is an enormous variety of clubs and societies to choose from at Smithdon High School including the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Young Enterprise, numerous sporting opportunities and many more. “There are lots of clubs to get invovled with at lunchtime.” - Year 8 student 12
School Council The School Council meets once a month and is is made up of student representatives from every year in the school, to ensure the needs and concerns of all our age groups are heard equally. The students chair the meetings themselves, with staff and governors overseeing their discussions to assist with any queries the pupils may have regarding the topics that are important to them. Since its inception, the school council has affected many important decisions within school, such as the school uniform, the new school badge, the school’s recycling policy, an anti-smoking campaign and assisting in raising funds for charities both locally and nationally, to name just a few. In addition, Hunstanton Town Council has recently approached the school council, asking them to act as the youth council for the town of Hunstanton - a role the students have been very keen to take on with their usual energy and maturity. School councillors are elected by their peers and report back to their fellow students, ensuring that everyone at Smithdon High School has a voice. “I’m proud to be on the school council and to have my ideas heard.” - Year 10 student Parent Partnership Parent partnership creates a vital link between the school and its parents. The school is working hard to establish close ties with parents and we strongly believe that the quality of co-operation between home and school has a significant effect on a student’s performance and standards of achievement. Good communication is essential if the partnership is to work successfully and we are committed to strengthening this relationship through a number of channels: • Newsletters issued two or three times a term. • The student planner, which parents are asked to sign weekly. • Progress reviews and annual written reports to parents. • Parent partnership evenings. • Curriculum evenings. • The school’s website. • Parents’ Handbook. 13
