An enormous number of our students last year benefited from taking part in activities extra to those carried out in school time. With opportunities from dance to public speaking, netball to languages, clubs for enjoyment and those for extra GCSE’s, students gain life skills and experiences equal in importance to those learnt in school lessons.

Residential visits and trips are also an extremely important part of a student’s journey through school life. Friendships are forged and cultures experienced which often form the starting points of lifelong influences. The school now runs many visits abroad for educational, social and recreational purposes. These are, amongst others, to; Japan on a social and cultural exchange, Spain for Dance and Music experiences, Italian and American Ski trips, French trips for language development and also adventure sports in the Ardeche.
