Beyond The Classroom

Students thrive in an environment where they are given the opportunity to develop their interests and find new ones beyond the classroom. Therefore a range of activities is on offer, including:

Sport (inter-house and inter-school competition as well as non-competitive activities);
Art and Design;
Drama (clubs and productions);
Music (orchestras, ensembles, bands, choirs, concerts and productions);
An extensive range of subject visits and field trips;
Cultural visits, including theatre, museum and concert trips;
Trips abroad (including skiing trips);
Language exchanges;
Duke of Edinburgh Awards (Bronze to Gold);
World Challenge Expeditions;
Science (including an Eco Club);
Business and Enterprise;
ICT.

Late buses are run to ensure all students have the opportunity to participate in after College clubs.

Leadership, service and responsibility are also strongly encouraged in the College through:

Service as Head Boy and Head Girl or as Sixth Form student officers in wider College life;
Student democracy (involving year councils, a College Student Council and representation in the West Sussex Youth Parliament);
Voluntary work (both in primary schools and in the local community);
Sports and community leadership courses;
Numerous charity and fundraising activities throughout the year.

We encourage all our students to take full advantage of the many extra-curricular opportunities on offer. Other activities flourish from time to time, depending on the interest of students and teachers. We are always looking for new ideas to engage our students beyond the curriculum and we would welcome any suggestions.
