Extra Curricular Opportunities

A regular feature of school life is our extra curricular sporting activities. We compete in both local and national competitions in a variety of sports. Students are invited to attend lunch and after school clubs to practice their favourite sports and try out new activities.

Please see our clubs timetable  for more details on specific activities, dates and times.

Assessment

Students are assessed after each activity taking into consideration their practical performance, decision making skills, leadership and attitude. Students will receive a grade for effort and achievement each half term so they can track their progress.
