Co-curricular and Trips

Our co-curricular programme is implemented through a programme of educational visits, drop-down days, enrichment clubs, and external speakers. These experiences are designed to give every learner the chance to explore their passions and grow in confidence. In recent years, we have seen residential trips to New York, Belgium and Switzerland, as well as day trips to key London sites such as British Museum, Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern and V&A.

Our co-curricular offer provides pupils with freedom of expression and choice, encouraging them to make both personal and collaborative connections with their learning. This approach fosters independent, investigative learners and promotes deeper engagement through creativity, well-being, enterprise, and innovation. We run over 90 clubs per week, which appeal to a wide range of student interests. Clubs include Music Production, Axiom Maths Club, STEAM club, table tennis and kickboxing. To run our diverse clubs offer, we work with a wide range of external partners, including Sadler’s Wells and Immediate Theatre, as well as industry specialists in music and sports.
