Electives
Co-op Academy Belle Vue's Electives Programme 2023-2024 is an exciting opportunity for our students to engage in a diverse range of activities beyond the curriculum.
The Electives Programme is part of #TheBelleVueDifference, and is designed to support our mission statement of ‘unlocking potential through expert knowledge and character’. We believe that a strong co-curricular experience is essential for nurturing the unique talents, interests, and aspirations of each individual. Our elective programme is explicitly linked to the future career pathways that it opens as well as the character development it provides through our CARE principles.
Every student has the opportunity to choose three new electives per term, ensuring a holistic approach to their personal development.
The Electives system means that all students here will access a broad, rich and diverse range of learning opportunities and experiences which will support their personal development - External Evaluation 2024
Please download our Elective Handbook below which includes all relevant information for each elective.
At Co-op Academy Belle Vue we also have a number of partnerships with organisations that offer wider opportunities to our students. You can read about these partnerships here.
Academic Elective
This elective offers a chance for your child to explore an academic subject in more depth and breadth than the taught curriculum. It encourages intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of various disciplines. These electives will particularly support our students in year 9 with their subject choices for KS4.
Physical and Wellbeing Elective
Physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for the overall well-being of our students. This elective focusses on developing physical strength, enhancing teamwork and leadership skills, and fostering a spirit of sportsmanship as well as supporting our students with mental wellbeing. Students can wear their full Co-op PE kit to school on their Physical elective day.
#TheDifference Elective
We understand that every child has unique interests and talents that may not fit neatly into predefined categories. The Difference Elective is an open-ended opportunity for your child to explore a wide range of activities, such as arts, technology, debate, and more. This allows them to discover new passions and gain a broader perspective on their abilities.
