Four Co-Curricular Zones

We know that the adolescent brain develops best through movement, interaction and
challenge. Activities that spark curiosity, connection and joy release powerful feel good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin which are essential for motivation, wellbeing and memory. That’s why our co-curricular programme is built around being with others, learning on your feet and discovering through doing.

The most sought-after employability skills are no longer just academic qualifications, but confidence, communication, resilience, creativity and collaboration. These aren’t taught by textbooks alone. They’re developed in real-time, through real experiences. That’s exactly what we embed into our co-curricular offer year on year.

Our Co-Curricular Zones

Realise your creative talents through Art, Dance, Drama, Film and Music!

Help others and give back to the wider community through volunteering. Co-curricular also supports all other aspects of Bronze, Silver and Gold DofE awards.

A vast array of sporting activities on offer blending traditional team games with individual pursuits, plus mindfulness hobbies for mental wellbeing.

Pursue your vocational and academic interests and develop a lifelong passion through our skills building clubs with a variety of STEAM specialisms.

Whether you’re a talker; whether you’re a listener, it doesn’t matter what point of view you have or what age you are…I think that’s what everyone likes about it. There’s no pressure to be anything; you can just be there.”
