Extra-curricular enrichment

We encourage all children to get involved in activities outside of their lessons; to enable them to try new things, meet new friends and develop new skills.

We offer a number of free clubs that might interest your child, contact us to find out how to get involved.

Pupil leadership

The Samuel Barlow pupil leadership team empowers children within our academy and wider community to become ambassadors. The pupil leadership team plays an extremely important role in the academy by representing the pupil voice with their views on changes and improvements to academy life.

Members of the pupil leadership team have to demonstrate qualities such as the use of initiative; being a good role model to their peers and being able to share their ideas with others. Children must also be trustworthy, honest, well-mannered and patient, all important skills to have when they move on to the next stages of their education and career.
