When you’re looking for a job or applying for university, you need to have more on your CV than just your academic achievement. While you’re at school, it’s really important to make the most of any opportunities to take part in extra-curricular activities. This could be in school, attending one of the many fantastic clubs on offer at Boclair Academy, or after school and at the weekends.

Getting involved in sports clubs, music lessons/groups, volunteering and part-time work is a great way to meet new people, have fun and helps you strike a healthy balance between school work and social life.

Being involved in wider achievement opportunities gives you lots of practical examples you can use in job applications to show off the skills you have developed.

We’re really proud of all your Wider Achievement successes and stories. Keep up-to-date with the latest using the ‘pupil successes’ tab on the drop-down menu, and if you have your own Wider Achievement success, let us know using this form.
