Extracurricular Clubs
The Department for Education commissioned a study into the impact of extracurricular activities and found that children who participate in extracurricular activities gain confidence and build up their social skills which is much sought after by employers. They are also more likely to aspire to go on to higher or further education.*
We are pleased to offer a wide range of after-school activities to our pupils to help them to fulfil every aspect of their potential. Please see below a list of extracurricular clubs on offer this term. With opportunities in various sports, music, foreign languages and computing we aim to offer an activity to suit everyone.
