Rocklands offer a substantial amount of extra curricular activities both during the school day and after school clubs.
All Key Stage 2 children attend the Friary School for swimming lessons. Our Robins, Puffins, Owls and Toucans get the opportunity to attend swimming lessons at Connock Leisure Centre. All of our children also have the opportunity to go swimming when we hire a pool on site.
Most classes have the opportunity to go horse riding on a rotation basis. We attend Coton House Farm and are funded by a local charity to attend Bourne Vale Farm.
The school is very lucky to have three minibuses and all classes explore the local community and beyond multiple times a term. Places we have visited have included: Ash End Farm, Shugborough Hall, National Space Museum, Tamworth Castle, The Sea Life Centre, Tropical Land and many more.
We use our Local Area Visits weekly to enrich our curriculum further. We visit shops, parks, cafes, charity shops, local churches and Lichfield Cathedral among many more locations to provide our children with real life experiences as part of our Preparing for Adulthood curriculum.
Residentuals are so important to use offering oour children new experiences away from home. We build these up throughout the children's years at Rocklands with children attending 1,2,3 or 4 night residentials in a variety of locations. residential locations include: Standon Bowers, Beaudesert, Bendrigg in the Lake District and Lea green just to name a few. The attendance of these vary based on the needs of specific cohorts.
Rocklands also offer a number of clubs including STEAM (Science based), Lego, Sensory intergration, Cooking, Drumming, Choir, and a wide variety of sporting activities. These are offered on a rota basis and letters each term will be sent out. Please click our annual clubs offer for the academic year 2024-25 below for more information.
This year we are also working with Liberty who collect our children from site at the end of the day. They offer a Thursday & Friday 'life skills' youth club after school for children aged 8 years and over.
We also offer a Breakfast Club every day - please click below for further information.
