Welcome
TO THE NEW ELECTIVES BROCHURE
Electives is a programme of
activities that fulfils our ambition
to provide ‘extra’ provision for our
students at Tytherington School.
These Electives are in addition to our
existing range of extra-curricular
provision which will continue to run
throughout the week.
It is expected that all students in Years 7
and 8 take part in the Elective Programme.
It will be optional for all other year groups.
There will be a second bus to Bollington
each Thursday at 3.30pm (paid service) to
support the transportation of pupils taking
part in Electives. If transport is still a barrier,
please get in contact with the school.
In order to encourage breadth of learning,
the programme is organised within three
categories. Students have the opportunity
to make their choices from:
Some Electives require fees; these will be
