Wider Opportunities

Tilbury Pioneer Academy offers a comprehensive and broad wider curriculum, providing children plenty of opportunities to take part, perform, compete and attend to enhance their passions and interests.

Our partnership with the Royal Opera House Trailblazers programme of high quality arts and cultural activities boosts creative learning; children partake in events such as Young Voices, Thurrock Poetry Competition, Infant and Junior Music Festival, Tilbury Lights, National Theatre and Rotary Club activities; all children have the opportunity to compete in a wider range of sporting competitions, including football, netball, cricket, cross-country and athletics; we raise academic aspirations through activities like Mathletics and Brilliant Club, where pupils participate in a scholars programme and graduate from University!

Children are also able to take on a variety of leadership roles throughout their time atTilbury Pioneer Academy, including School Council, Eco Council, Art Council, Pupil Librarians, and Digital Champions. Finally, we routinely support local and national charities, raising thousands of pounds for the benefit of others, including Comic Relief, Sport Relief, Water Aid, Tilbury Food Bank, NSPCC and Save the Children.

 

After School Clubs

We offer a good range of after school clubs available to choose from each term, the timetable is shown above. Clubs range from drama and music to sports and art. Children really enjoy the clubs; both for what the club is offering and for the social aspects. Clubs run from 3pm until 4pm.
