Extra-Curricular

Educational opportunities extend far beyond the classroom. The school’s educational philosophy is reflected in the variety of challenging activities through which the personal development of each individual is nurtured.

The extra-curricular programme runs during the school day, on weekday evenings and at the weekend. Activities range from debating & public speaking to chess, croquet and the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. Students can also undertake expeditions, in particular as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, up to Gold level, and as members of the World Challenge team.
