Sports

The Prep School takes full advantage of the Senior School's capacity and level of provision for sporting facilities. The Children use the "Home Ground", which is the College's match pitch for both training and matches.

Coaching is also provided by College instructors, which provides pupils with an arguable higher standard of coaching to many other local school, who rely on teachers to dual-role.

  • Two Selective Choral Groups
  • Two Orchestras
  • Concert band
  • Other short term musical projects in small ensembles.

Drama

The School puts on a Musical each year known as the 'Senior production'. many pupils from all age groups at the school will take part in acting, musical and stage management roles.
