We know that co-curricular enrichment activities both benefit and support our students’ academic achievements. It also boosts emotional wellbeing and good mental health. We therefore encourage our students to express themselves and to work-off daily frustrations.
We encourage our students to learn the soft skills of life whilst they are with us, such as good personal and professional presentation, time management and effective study habits. This helps them to feel more in control of their own academic and career journey.
In September, new students enjoy a series of immersive Saturday events that help them to get to know the local area and become accustomed to life in the UK. These normally include visits to significant local landmarks, such as Dover Castle, a picnic at the beach, a hike through the North Downs and a trip to London.
Our art students exhibit their work twice a year in shows to celebrate their various expressive achievements and to explain a little bit about their own inspirations and influences to peers and guests. Students also curate displays of their work around the school in our permanent galleries.
We frequently invite a guest speaker to provide a personal insight on their career at a formal evening event. Students are often inspired at these events to investigate and consider alternative career pathways.
Our MUN Club is a debate society that meets to discuss global political issues. Our teams regularly participate in conferences in and around London. The society teams up with the UNESCO group for the annual New York trip. This activity builds not only skills and knowledge but also confidence.
Trips are arranged throughout the year, for entertainment and enrichment, to venues such as Thorpe Park, Go Ape, Paintballing, The Harry PotterTM Studios, quad biking and ice-skating.
Weekly football training at Three Hills Sports Park is included within school fees.
Charges for additional activities may vary. These will be dependent on the number of participants, tickets, meals and the travel involved.
