Extra-Curricular Activities

An opportunity for the girls to extend their learning outside the classroom

Both day students and boarders are able to participate in the many extra-curricular activities and clubs offered after school and at weekends. It is an opportunity for the girls to extend their learning outside the classroom, enjoy a new hobby, try a different sport, or contribute to the community through such activities as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.
