Clubs and Activities
We have a wide range of clubs and activities and we want all students to participate and make the most of their time in school. Extra-curricular activities are updated every half term. We also run additional GCSE revision and intervention sessions for all students in the lead up to the final examinations. Lists are on every tutor notice board.
The new timetables for Sports Clubs, ICT Clubs and Music Clubs are circulated every half term.
