School Life

Clubs

After a busy school day the school does not stop. There are after school clubs available to all girls on Monday to Thursday. These vary from term to term and will include squad practices for different sports, choir, chess, different arts and craft clubs, dance in different forms, creative ICT and many more. All are great fun and allow the girls to explore new skills, develop their own particular interests and get to know girls in other year groups better. Most clubs are run by our own staff and are free but a few incur a charge to pay for materials or for outside instructors, such as Chess, Fencing and LAMDA.
