Extra-Curricular Opportunities

Clubs and Activities

Each term we offer a huge range of clubs and activities that students can join in with. Some run at lunchtimes and others after-school. Some are limited to specific year groups whilst others are open to all students to join in as mixed age activities.

The programmes and timetables will change each term and updated programmes will appear here. Below are details of the current clubs and activities on offer to students:

Instrumental Lessons

We have a team of fantastic professional instrumental teachers, many of whom are working and touring musicians too.

Lessons are usually given on an individual basis at a cost per lesson. Individual lessons are 25 minutes in length and rotate each week to avoid regular disruption to the same curriculum lessons.

We also have a system for group lessons, at the discretion of the instrumental tutor, for a weekly 30-minute session (these are not available for piano).

For more information and how to book or cancel lessons, please go here.

Activities Week - Years 7, 8 & 9

Each year (in the final week of the Summer term) all students in Years 7, 8 and 9 take part in Activities Week - a comprehensive offer of residential and day activities for everyone to join in with.

This week provides every student with the opportunity to mix and socialise with other students (outside their normal circle of friends), to try new experiences, access cultural opportunities, learn new skills, and make memories to share with their friends and families now and in later life.
