Every idea begins with a spark
CAS is an extra-curricular programme that takes the importance of life outside the world of scholarship seriously, providing a refreshing counterbalance to academic studies. It develops students into reflective thinkers and active participants who are willing to accept new challenges and new roles. CAS broadens the mind, promotes teamwork and collective thinking and enables students at Bromsgrove to become actively involved in matters of international importance. Students are expected to be involved in CAS activities each week and to reflect on their CAS activities on a regular basis using IB Managebac software.
CAS is broken down into three parts:
Creativity: arts and other experiences that involve creative thinking.
Activity: physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle.
Service: an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student and a worth to society, either locally, nationally or internationally.
There is a high-level of personal choice involved in the CAS programme and it often enables students to find an activity or cause they are really passionate about. They can use the school’s extra-curricular programme to support their CAS portfolio but also are advised to seek activities and experiences outside of School. It gives students a broad and balanced education for life.
The CAS program aims to develop students who:
Enjoy and find significance in a range of CAS experiences
Purposefully reflect upon their experiences
Identify goals, develop strategies and determine further actions for personal growth
Explore new possibilities, embrace new challenges and adapt to new roles
Actively participate in planned, sustained, and collaborative CAS projects
Understand they are members of local and global communities with responsibilities towards each other and the environment.
During the course of the IB, students are required to keep a record of their CAS activities on the Managebac System. These online portfolios are monitored by staff and will need to be kept up-to-date. Guidance is always available from the IB staff, who will provide advice on the suitability of proposed CAS activities and can help find placements and suggest activities if a student is struggling for ideas to help them develop an exciting and reflective CAS portfolio.The IB Diploma cannot be awarded if the CAS programme has not been completed.
A CAS project is a collaborative series of sequential experiences lasting at least one month. Pupils must be involved in at least one CAS project during the programme that challenges them – the project must show initiative, demonstrate perseverance, and develop skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and decision-making.
CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) in the IB programme is not just an additional component—it is a vibrant expression of our school’s core values: Supportive, Creative, Empathetic, Progressive, Ambitious, and Courageous. Through CAS experiences, students learn to be supportive team members, building meaningful relationships and contributing to their communities. They engage in creative pursuits that encourage innovation and self-expression, and develop a deep sense of empathy by addressing real-world needs with compassion. CAS challenges students to adopt a progressive mindset, embracing change and growth, while setting ambitious goals that push them beyond the classroom. Above all, students show courage—whether by taking on new initiatives, stepping outside their comfort zones, or advocating for causes they believe in. In every sense, CAS brings our core values to life, shaping students into thoughtful, principled, and active global citizens.
