As a school we very much believe that academic learning is only one – albeit a very important one – part of learning in school and so we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities to give our students the chance to engage in new pursuits that enable them to flourish and develop in the widest possible sense.
These activities change on a termly basis and the new schedule is published here – and circulated to students via tutor noticeboards – at the start of each new term.
Furthermore, this school year will see Drama and Music rehearsals for shows through the year whether it be the whole-school show (‘The Addams Family) in the Autumn Term, ‘Battle of the Bands’ or the variety show ‘Encore’ in the Spring Term, or the Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) Show (TBC) in the Summer Term.
Additionally, we have the following offer for selected students / Year groups:

Richard Barnett-Richards, Deputy Headteacher, said: “All of our activities are free and there is very much something for everyone. Extra-curricular engagement only adds to a child’s buy-in to school and has a knock-on effect in the classroom and latterly on school exams. We would encourage every child to get busy and get involved.”
