Extracurricular

Extra curricular activities allow students to pursue interests outside of a standardised academic context which they may not have encountered before.

They can also help students build professional skills such as leadership, teamwork and resilience that a classroom alone cannot always foster. These are skills which future employers will be looking for. Most importantly, our programmes are great fun and give students the chance to spend time with others with similar interests.

We also offer a number of day and residential trips, including Outward Bound, a ski trip, and cultural trips as well as the opportunity to participate in local and national competitions.
