Enhanced Curricular

At Highfurlong we recognise the value that enhanced curricular activities have on the teaching and learning in school and the positive impact on pupils mental health and wellbeing.  They also allow us to provide enhanced experiences to our learners which are motivating and exciting, beyond the classroom.

Take a look at some of our recent activities.

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration

In May we held our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. KS5 organised lots of activities including pin the tail on the corgi and traditional outdoor games. All pupils took part in a tea dance in the hall with traditional lemonade. At lunch time we held a whole school street party, followed by a special assembly. We even got a very special letter from the Queen.  

Quidditch Day 

In May all pupils took part in a Quidditch day as part of our whole school Move day.  They were sorted into teams by the sorting hat and then the games commenced.  We now have our very own Quidditch set in school, and we are very excited to master our new game.

Ribby Hall Music Festival

In April the school choir took part in the Ribby Hall Music Festival with other special schools.  The choir had been busy practicing classic rock songs which they performed followed by a disco.  They performed amazingly in front of the peers and other adults and we are very proud of their confidence and reslience.

World Book Day 2022

In March, pupils and staff dressed up for World Book Day in force. Parents came to into school to take part in activites and key stage 5 ran coffee shop and opened The Giftbox shop,.  There were competitions galore and a big read in the afternoon. There was a great buzz around school about reading and the day was enjoyed by all.

Schools Alive

In February some of our pupils were invited to perform at the Winter Gardens for Schools Alive. Hosted by the Blackpool Music Service, pupils
joined other schools on stage and did an amazing, energetic performance of the Greatest Showman.  They did an incredible job and we are very proud of them.

Circus Skills

In February the circus came to visit Triangle and Circle class. This linked into their topic of animals and the circus and they had a great time practicing circus skills in the hall.

Winnie the Pooh Day

Highfurlong supported Blackpool’s Get into Reading scheme by holding a Winnie the Pooh day.  All pupils took part in various activities and were all given a very special book to take home.

"There are so many best things. The children and staff, the dedication given to each and every child, making school life fun to learn. The support given to parents and the fantastic school shows. The enterprise shop is remarkable."
