What are extracurricular activities?

Phil Avery (Geography Teacher) gives expert video advice on: What are extracurricular activities?; What are the different sorts of extracurricular activities?; Do all schools offer extracurricular activities? and more...

Extracurricular activities are any activities that facilitate learning outside the classroom, and that is not directly relevant to the course. So, for example, I wouldn't count GCSE fieldwork as extracurricular because they are needed for the exam. Whereas, any groups, clubs, societies or trips that happen during or outside of school time, I would count as extracurricular, as long as they are not directly relevant to the course.
