Extra-Curricular Activities
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:

Saturday School
Saturday School largely runs from 9.30-11.30am on selected weekends through the school year and these are publicised with targeted students / parents.
These free tutoring sessions largely focus on Year 10 – Year 13 students facing exams though it is an option for any student in the targeted Year group wishing to conduct private study in the slot.
The sessions are voluntary – though occasionally parents may be contacted to ensure their child attends – and they are non-uniform.
All students must sign in at the reception point before going to their sessions.
Holiday School
Holiday School takes place in the February Half-Term, Easter and May Half-Term holidays and are usually directed towards Year 10 – Year 13 students facing exams.
Again, the sessions are voluntary – though occasionally parents may be contacted to ensure their child attends – and they are non-uniform.
