EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Extra-curricular activities in the school are regarded as a valuable means of broadening curriculum experience and promoting the development of positive attitudes. Pupils are encouraged to join societies which will enhance skills already acquired in the classroom. The extra-curricular life of the school embraces a range of activities covering academic, athletic, religious, sporting and cultural interests. Some societies utilise this extra time as a means of preparing pupils for festivals, competitions, quizzes and school productions. Other departments use after school time to help pupils with GCSE, AS or A Level coursework.
