Oxenhope CE Primary School
At Oxenhope CE Primary School our extra-curricular programme is underpinned by our School Vision:
We provide the rich soil allowing children to flourish and develop deep roots. We nurture growth, enabling children to thrive as our Christian values blossom in their lives. We cultivate a sense of pride in our rural community where children are loved and valued.
May our children flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. Psalm 144 v 12.
Throughout our curriculum and school life, along with our school vision, these three golden strands permeate through everything we do.
Jesus often spoke of unity in our communities and encouraging one another on our journey. He spoke of bearing each other’s burdens in love and helping those in need.
‘Live in harmony with one another.’ Romans 12 v 16
It says in the Bible that God is Love and encompasses all that is loving and good. Jesus showed the ultimate unconditional love when he laid down his life for us on the cross. Therefore, this love should lead to a desire to love other people.
‘Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us.’ Ephesians 5 v 2
Just like a plant, we must endure the difficult times along with the good; but God has sent us his Holy Spirit to help and strengthen us so we can bear fruit and grow in the likeness of Christ.
‘Grown in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.’ 2 Peter 3 v 18
We provide a vast range of opportunities throughout the school year for our learners to participate in range of extra-curricular activities including art, dance, drama, music, sport, outdoor pursuits and many more.
Participation in extra-curricular activities is a very rewarding and meaningful learning experience that enhances a child’s education, preparing them for secondary school and the wider world. The children learn to manage the time demands, responsibility, dedication and sacrifices required when making this kind of commitment.
