We believe that activities outside the classroom can enrich and extend our students' learning. We offer a full range of clubs at lunchtime and after school including ICT, Drama,Reading, Science, Sign Language and a popular steel band. Our students enjoy many visits to museums and theatres, both locally and further afield. We organise visits to London and Paris as well as fieldwork trips to support students' coursework. There is an extensive sporting calendar, with many inter-form as well as inter-school matches. Our students regularly celebrate considerable success at local, county and national level.
