Extra-Curricular Activities
We believe that participation in extra-curricular activities is crucial to the all-round education of each pupil. It develops self-esteem and interpersonal skills as well as forging friendships and a sense of belonging. We offer a varied programme of extra-curricular activities and encourage all pupils to get involved.
