EXTRA-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITY The range of clubs and activities on offer to pupils, both during and after school, is extensive. Pre-prep children enjoy activities like Forest School, Musical Sparklers and Engineering Club; Junior children get involved with clubs like archery, pottery and golf, and Senior pupils enjoy initiatives like Round Table Lecture Society, History Café and Language Leaders. The choices are endless, ensuring that there is something for everyone. THE GREAT OUTDOORS Our popular Ely Scheme captures the sense of adventure among students in years 9-13.
