Extra interests every day

Everyone works best when engaged in the task at hand and our staff pull out the stops to ensure lessons are lively, fun and engaging.

Hands on is the best way to master skills and, on any given day, classrooms across the campus might be resounding to the beat of massed African drums or temporarily silent as students practise mindfulness or yoga. The College is well equipped and our science laboratories, art rooms, performance spaces and media suite are busy, upbeat places. Away from lessons, before school, at lunchtime and during the daily Development Hour, students broaden their horizons at a plethora of clubs and are encouraged to try something new. Add our choirs and music ensembles rehearsing, our horticulturalists mulching, our coders coding and you will get a sense of the scene.

We are rightly known for the quality of our sports provision and our pitches, sports hall and fitness suite are rarely empty. Then there are our annual Prep production, our sensational Senior musical show, our nativity plays and concerts... and our Arts Festival week in June, when creativity really lets rip with visiting speakers, performance groups and workshops.

Wrap-around care and clubs are offered to ensure working parents do not have to worry about childcare. With a range of interesting and diverse clubs there will be something each day after school to stimulate and engage your child.
