Extracurricular activities complement the taught timetable by providing opportunities to learn useful skills beyond national curriculum subjects, and help pupils expand their horizons and foster a love of less traditional, academic pursuits. However, participation is often driven by household income and other contextual factors.

In this webinar, Matt Bromley, education writer and adviser with over twenty years’ experience as teacher, headteacher and principal, explores the benefits of extracurricular activities and explains how they can afford more equitable access to an ambitious curriculum, helping to close the attainment gap.
