We believe that learning takes place from the moment our students arrive to the moment they leave. Therefore, everything we do is part of our vision to provide an education rich in meaning and opportunity.
The co-curriculum plays a large part in this philosophy with students having a range of options before school, at lunchtime and after school. As students progress through the school, more opportunities become available. The co-curriculum is built into the school day. For instance, in Senior School a long lunch break allows for two slots alongside further opportunities before and after school creating a full day of learning both in and out of the classroom.
A majority of our activities are free and are delivered by our expert teachers allowing connection with work in the classroom and for teachers to develop their knowledge of every student as an individual. For sports, our experienced PE team is joined by top coaches with the majority also being offered free of charge.
There is an emphasis on music, drama, and sport alongside clubs and societies, some of which are organised by older students, so that they are empowered to explore their passions and grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. There are activities that stretch, and those purely for enjoyment, as well as academic enrichment and opportunities for service in school and the community.
The programme is designed to be accessible to those who want to try something new or for enjoyment, and to give opportunities for more experienced students to be challenged, particularly in sport and music. The co-curriculum also enables students to try new languages or to go deeper into academic subjects that excite them. The range of activities will develop and grow with student interests and will be a major part of school life.
