Educating Beyond the Classroom

Whilst achieving excellent GCSE and A level results is extremely important, we firmly believe in educating the whole person and realise the best learning often takes place outside the classroom. The school provides a stimulating education and exciting extracurricular and enrichment opportunities in an environment which is friendly and supportive. We encourage our pupils to fully engage with our offer. There are opportunities to join the orchestra, choir, drama or dance groups. There is also a wide array of sports clubs including tennis and cricket. Academic opportunities range from science clubs to debating, public speaking, coding, library and homework clubs. Wherever their interests lead them, pupils can challenge themselves and try something new and unusual: to learn contemporary crafts, improve the environment, participate in Warhammer Club, represent the school in Show Jumping or other equestrian sports, as well as benefit from the many trips and visits on offer. Pupils may work to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme throughout their school career or participate in the Linguistics Olympiad and the Senior and Junior Mathematical Challenge. Our pupils undertake voluntary activities in the local community and various work experience programmes. The school is a community where every pupil has the opportunity to shine among their peers. Pupils are encouraged to be self-reliant, to explore their talents and, always, to strive for excellence.
