Which activities can I attend?
Information is correct as of September 2024. For the most up-to-date information about activity dates, times and locations, students will use SOCS.
Signing up
During the induction programme at the start of September, students will attend an Activities Fair. During this event they will have a chance to talk to staff about the different activities on offer and see the variety of extra-curricular opportunities. Girls will enrol onto their chosen activities using the online SOCS system during an allocated tutor time in the first week of term.
Paid activities
A few activities incur a cost - generally those where an external coach is employed to deliver the activity or where materials or resources need to be purchased. This is indicated by an asterisk * next to an activity. Further information on signing up to these activities is provided in a separate document. We offer a free taster session to allow students to try a new activity before committing themselves. Please be aware, for paid activities, the terms and conditions include a notice period.
Subject Clinics and Revision Clubs
Curriculum subject departments run regular drop-in clinics for pupils to provide help and support not just for our exam year groups, but for younger students also. Pupils wishing to attend a clinic are free to turn up, but if they need to miss another activity to do so, they will be expected to seek permission from the member of staff whose activity they are missing. The clinics schedule is sent to all girls and is available online at the start of each term.
At certain times of the academic year, departments also run revision clubs, focusing on particular topics and aimed at specific year groups. As with the subject clinics, the expectation is that pupils wishing to attend these revision sessions will still fulfil their commitments to their regular extra-curricular activities.
Art, Ceramics and Textiles will offer additional workshops at various points during the school year, including Saturday's. Drama workshops will also take place across the range of year groups.
