Activities
We consider our pupils’ involvement in activities to be a key part of their development into interesting, confident and rounded adults as well as providing balance in a busy and stimulating school day.
By joining in with others, including many outside their own class and year groupings, they acquire additional social skills and extra friendships. It also allows our staff to get to know and understand them better.
We aim to expose pupils to a wide variety of activities and challenges so that they can eventually leave us with a varied portfolio of interests and experiences.
Find out more about the activities on offer in the Lower Prep, Upper Prep and Senior School.

Senior School
Our Outdoor Pursuits Department offers pupils from First Form upwards the opportunity to sail, canoe, climb, windsurf and powerboat either during Games lessons or after school.
Pupils elect to join either the CCF or the Community Service Unit CSU for the duration of the Fourth and Fifth Forms. Within the CCF they then express a preference for a particular service while CSU pupils opt for a placement (such as an animal centre, primary or special school, or residential home for the elderly).
Lower Sixth students may elect to remain in the CCF or CSU or to take an extension course such as Debating, Psychology, Food for Life or Textiles. Our Upper Sixth students take on significant leadership roles in the CCF or CSU or take further extension courses.
We offer a broad range of extra-curricular opportunities throughout the year. Our current term list is here.
