The school offers an extensive and diverse range of clubs and societies. We actively encourage boys to participate in a new activity each term when they join, as well as trying out things that they would not normally consider. It is an ideal way to discover new interests or unsuspected talents.
We encourage boys to participate in a new activity each term, allowing them to try out new hobbies and develop valuable skills, such as leadership and teamwork.
As well as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and CCF sections, there are over 60 other clubs and societies boys can get involved in during their time with us. All have a coordinating member of staff, but we hand much of these groups’ ownership to the boys themselves.
Each academic year launches with the annual clubs and societies fair, which allows current student members to promote and market their group to those who are new to the school. Some clubs are open to more senior boys, but 50 are for boys entering the school in the Fourth Form.
