Many extra-curricular activities are available throughout the school. The opportunity to take up a new challenge and to develop skills to a high level is a major attraction to many students. This can be a good way to make new friends through common interests and to start on what may become lifelong hobbies.
October 2020 - Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are not currently holding as many extra-curricular clubs as normal. Please see last year's for information; we hope to resume as many of these as possible in the near future.
