Extra-Curricular Activities

We believe that learning takes place beyond that which occurs in the classroom as part of our core curriculum. The extra-curricular activities we offer are designed to enrich the core curriculum and further develop all our students’ character, talents and interests. Students have the opportunity to experience a diverse range of activities, that include drama, music, art, science, coding and various sports clubs. Groups that help to build confidence in exploring their individual identity and expressing their viewpoints through LGBTQ+, Anti-Bullying, Eco-Schools and Debating club. All of this in addition to the homework club, available to support all students to develop their independence.

We are passionate believers in the power of travel to enhance our students’ cultural capital. First hand experience of other cultures is powerful in building a person’s knowledge of the world around them and supporting their appreciation of people’s similarities and differences. To this end we regularly run trips abroad with recent examples including Berlin, Skiing in Italy, and Normandy.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is the world’s leading achievement award for young people, aged between 14 and 24. It aims to create a world where young people can reach their full potential whatever their circumstances. Their ethos is to enable every young person of every background to do their DofE and succeed, regardless of any barriers.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award provides a balanced programme of activities that develops the whole person – mind, body and soul – in an environment of social interaction and teamworking.

Taking part builds confidence and develops self-esteem, and the award requires persistence, commitment and has a lasting impact on the attitudes and outlook of all young people who take part.
