Alongside our extensive extracurricular activities, we provide a variety of educational trips and visits. Trips and visits enable students to experience opportunities away from school, developing their confidence and self-esteem.

We have delivered the Duke of Edinburgh's Award (DofE) scheme for many years. The DofE is a nationally recognised award that perfectly illustrates the school’s commitment to providing high quality extra-curricular activities to complement excellent academic attainment. The components of the award also reflect our desire to equip students with relevant life skills that will also serve them well as they make their way towards the next step in their education and employment.

Students in Years 12 and 13 are supported to gain work experience placements to enhance their employability skills and personal development. As a school we take a blended approach to work experience, supporting both traditional placements, virtual placements and trips to workplaces.
