• sports, games and adventurous outdoor activities
• community service and volunteering opportunities
• transitional events - primary to secondary and towards school leaving
• summer or Easter schools
• active travel and playground games
• breakfast clubs and lunchtime study
• links to Duke of Edinburgh and other accredited schemes.
