In response to the Government policy of 'Every Child Matters' and the 'Extended Schools Programme' Summerhill School has launched a new programme of activities. The aim of the programme is to bring learning opportunities and experiences to the wider community as well as to Summerhill students.
To bring all these activities together we have created 'Summerhill Pathways' which will become the umbrella for all our "out of hours" activities. This will include our already successful Summerhill Swim Scheme.
We want to bring a wide variety of learning opportunities to our local community and are therefore happy
to receive suggestions on the sort of courses that you would like to see offered here at Summerhill.
