Co-Curricular Programme
What co-curricular opportunities are available?
At Kensington Wade we provide an extensive co-curricular programme. The activities are designed to challenge the children intellectually, physically and creatively and give them the chance to find new passions and talents they sometimes did not know they had!
This breadth of opportunity ensures that every child can explore their interests and develop confidence beyond the classroom. Our co-curricular provision is carefully designed to complement the academic curriculum and support the development of well-rounded individuals. Pupils are encouraged to try new activities and step outside of their comfort zones in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Do pupils take part in competitions?
At Kensington Wade we also take part in local and national competitions in English, art, Chinese Language, mathematics, sport, STEM and music.
These encourage a healthy sense of competition in our pupils and allow them to showcase and validate their achievements. They also help to build resilience, teamwork and pride in their work, while giving pupils the opportunity to represent the school with confidence.
For example, at the 2025 Chinese Bridge Awards Kensington Wade pupils won:
- The first and second prizes in the KS1 and KS2 individual competitions
- In 2023 The UK representative to attend the global final in China was from Kensington Wade
These successes reflect both the strength of the programme and the enthusiasm, dedication and talent of our pupils.
