Post 16 students routinely participate in The Duke of Edinburgh Award. The DofE Award is an internationally recognised scheme which helps young people push themselves personally and physically to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Over a period of 6 to 12 months, you devote your own time to new activities, new skills and two mountainous expeditions to achieve your award. Students also get involved in volunteering, physical activity and skill development.

Each year the Academy hosts its annual production, showcasing the talent of the students across all year groups. Approximately 100 students join together in different roles to perform a musical to a sell out audience. For three nights students act, dance, sing, perform in the band or work backstage to ensure the audience leave with a smile on their face. Past productions include Hairspray, School of Rock and Grease amongst many more.

Wednesday afternoons are dedicated to providing sporting and physical activity opportunities to all our Post 16 students.
