Your Personal Development at the Green School for Boys covers a wide range of things that you can do through school in lessons and outside of lessons. It is a key component in helping you to Reach Beyond Your Grasp.
Educational Visits to museums, exhibitions and events
This is an example of some of the clubs which ran this year. When you start in Sept look out for the range of clubs on offer for you to take part in!
Co-Curricular Activities
We believe in the value of co-curricular activities as an essential educational experience further enabling the development of character, learning habits, social skills and a sense of community. In addition to your Wednesday Enrichment activities, we run Sports clubs, Chapel Club, House competitions, Drama and Music clubs and many more
The offer of clubs will change each term so that you can try new and exciting things, or get better at the ones you enjoy!
Musical Instrument Tuition
Learning an instrument is a great way to boost your social skills, improve your discipline and patience, and will introduce youto other cultures. There are a variety of instruments you can learn at The Green School for Boys, including brass, woodwind, piano, voice, guitar and strings.
Instrumental tuition will be provided by staff from Hounslow Music Service. Some of you may have met your teacher before at Primary school!! Lessons take place during the school day during lesson time and will be rotated where possible to ensure you do not miss the same curriculum lesson each week. You can also hire instruments if you do not have your own.
You may think it is too early to start thinking about what you want to do as a job when you get older, but we will help you to think about the steps you need to take to your dream job!
Whether that is the skills that you need to develop to help get a position of responsibility such as Form Captain or Chapel Rep, or the opportunity to visit a workplace and see what really happens in a technology company?!
House Competitions
There is more information about our houses on the House System page, but the House competitions take place throughout the year and are a perfect opportunity for you to extend your personal development. You work with friends in your form group and with older students in your House in competition against the other Houses.
Educational Visits
Learning outside the classroom is an important part of your time at The Green School for Boys. We will aim to provide opportunities for you to experience activities, trips and visits every year you are with us from Y7 to Y13, starting with a Y7 team building day in the Autumn Term.
