Extra curriculum

Subject enrichment

There are many opportunities for extra-curricular activities including various different subjects (science, maths, writing, the arts and more), and a full range of activities and competitions including maths, debating and public speaking, creative writing, amongst others.

Sports

Our sports provision and coaching is a major strength at the college. Competitive sports with school teams challenging other schools in football, cricket, rugby, basketball, netball, volleyball, table tennis and other sports play a big part in pupils’ lives.

We have a Basketball Academy in collaboration with Greenhouse Basketball with a number of national and international achievements over the years.

Leadership

All pupils take part in House activities including committees, assemblies, competitions, Sports Day, the Business Fayre and educational trips out.

Pupils develop leadership skills through participation in the School Council, the Restorative Justice and Peer Mediation programmes, the Jack Petchey Award Scheme, the prefect scheme and by taking part in leadership focus groups.
