Extra Curricular

The school benefits from absolutely beautiful grounds which provide generous space for sports such as athletics, cricket, rugby and netball as well as opportunities for scientific and geographical investigations and performing and creative arts events. We are also blessed with exceptional internal facilities including drama and dance studios, Mac suite, recording studio and music practice rooms.

Students enjoy the social space available at break and lunchtime which includes the extensive fields, canopied terrace and ‘Hub’ with its panoramic views. Extra-curricular opportunities for students include study trips abroad for example: USA and the battlefields trip.

There is a plethora of lunchtime and after-school clubs including Sports clubs, Choir, Young Enterprise and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Regular trips are organised within the UK to art galleries, churches, museums and universities for enrichment. Lectures and field trips, which are an integral part of our curriculum are also offered. Students are strongly encouraged to take part in these activities to broaden their experiences.
