We believe that learning should not stop at the end of the school day. We are passionate about offering a diverse range of extra-curricular and leadership opportunities and we want students to leave with a whole host of wonderful memories of their time spent with us.
Sporting activities promote healthy lifestyles and essential life skills such as teamwork and resilience, while numerous cultural excursions bring the classroom to life in museums, theatres, field trips, and trips abroad.
We have a strong tradition in the performing arts, and our curriculum helps students develop creativity, confidence, and high self-esteem. Our music department is exceptional and our various bands and ensembles have won a number of accolades, both locally and nationally. Dance clubs, art clubs, drama workshops, peripatetic music lessons, full-scale annual productions, and a range of shows and performances collectively ensure that all students are given the opportunity to pursue their artistic interests – or just have some fun!
Students are also encouraged to apply for leadership roles and opportunities in the school and sixth form, ranging from prefect status to the Duke of Edinburgh Award to help build their confidence and resilience skills.
