Why should I take part in Extra-Curricular activities?

Research tells us that:

• It has a positive impact on academic attainment.
• It improves attendance.
• It improves retention from lessons.
• For lots of students, it is the only opportunity available to take part in an activity away from lessons.
• It allows you to meet new people.
• It helps build positive relationships with staff.

What are Extra-Curricular Activities?

Extra-Curricular activities are not just sport related, as you can see from our programme, we offer a wide range of activities to suit all tastes and backgrounds. For example, Cooking Club, Creative Writing, Pride Group, Book Club, Bracelet Making and many more.

Likewise and new for 2025-2026, clubs are now across the day starting before school with breakfast club. There are also now lunchtime clubs in addition to our traditional after school programme.
