COLLEGE<br />
The Dyslexia School<br />
Since 1910<br />
Hurst College, West Sussex<br />
“At Hurst, we now use the term co-curricular rather than<br />
extra-curricular because we believe that these activities should<br />
form part of, and run alongside, the academic curriculum.<br />
We value what goes on outside of the classroom as much<br />
as what goes on <strong>inside</strong>, as skills that are learnt through cocurricular<br />
activities can be transferable to the classroom.<br />
Sport is compulsory throughout the week and our service<br />
afternoon is compulsory for students in Years 10 and 11.<br />
Dance, music and drama are compulsory for Year 9 students<br />
and have protected slots as part of the weekly timetable.<br />
Specialist sports during timetabled games sessions include<br />
archery, climbing, rowing, sailing and mountain-biking.<br />
We encourage our students to engage in as much of<br />
the co-curricular programme as possible – whether that<br />
is as a member of one of our dance companies or sports<br />
teams, performing in one of our drama productions<br />
or taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award.<br />
We have highly qualified staff to deliver the activities and to<br />
bring out the best in each student – and some students discover<br />
talents they didn’t realise they had. For example, first team rugby<br />
players have also taken lead roles in our Dance Showcase. By the<br />
time students leave Hurst, the majority will have performed in<br />
a sports team, on a dance floor, on the stage, as well as having<br />
marched with the CCF and been involved with recycling or<br />
another environmental activity as part of the service afternoon.<br />
Education at Hurst is deliberately outward-looking.<br />
The range of activities provide many opportunities for our<br />
students to try new ventures, confront risks and learn from<br />
experience. The aim of our co-curricular programme is to<br />
equip our students with the skills and experience to make a<br />
success of their lives beyond Hurst. Respect, responsibility,<br />
resilience and reflection are learnt through the programme,<br />
and students also learn how to communicate with each other<br />
as part of a team and in leading a team. The various activities<br />
also help them to become accurate decision-makers, another<br />
important asset for later life. Benefits from the more physical<br />
activities help to improve students’ health, wellbeing and<br />
fitness levels in order to maintain a balanced lifestyle.”<br />
