The co-curricular programme is integrated into the school day on Friday afternoons, so that every pupil can take part. The array of clubs on offer varies each term and has included Mobile Website & Apps Design, Dissections, Creative Writing, Current Affairs, Robotics, Debating, Photography, Drama, Singing, Dance, Textiles, Tennis, Netball, Cross Country, Badminton, Strategic Games, Leadership Development and the Thames Charity League.
The school Choir and Band rehearse after school each week and there is a growing number of after-school extension and enrichment sessions of Life Drawing is an example.
Senior pupils have the opportunity to be professionally trained as mentors, using sport, craft, dance/music/drama and even cookery as a means to mentoring needy young children at a local primary school. Staff say their work makes a big difference to the behaviour of the pupils they work with.
