Having received feedback from parents and students that they want to see more enrichment opportunities in school we are thrilled to introduce our diverse and enriching extracurricular programme. We understand the limitations of our community due to mosque commitments after school and have facilitated these clubs during our longer than normal 40minute lunch breaks. With the support of our dedicated staff and experienced external coaches, we are aiming to provide a broad array of activities designed to engage, inspire, and challenge all students.
At Bolton Islamic Girls School we believe that our curriculum should allow equal opportunity of all facets of personal development to flourish. Through these clubs, students have the opportunity to thrive, build strong relationships, and develop new skills, all while fostering a sense of care and community.
We encourage all students to explore the benefits of participating in physical activities and clubs, as they are proven to boost both physical and mental wellbeing.
In this booklet, you will find a brief description of each club, along with its schedule, venue, and the staff member leading the activity.
If you have any questions, the teacher in charge of each club will be your first point of contact. Occasionally, clubs may be rescheduled or cancelled, but any changes will be communicated promptly by school admin.
We believe our extensive extra-curricular programme offers something for everyone – whether you’re looking to learn new skills, build on existing talents, or simply enjoy a new experience in a relaxed and supportive environment. We expect all students to take part in at least one club or activity each week to make the most of the wonderful opportunities available at Bolton Islamic Girls School. Extra merits are just one of the few benefits for learners attending.
Remember, everyone starts somewhere, so don’t hesitate to try something new. Our mission is to nurture, challenge, and support every young person to reach their full potential. I encourage all students to get involved and embrace the many opportunities that lie ahead.
