Activities Week

The first day of Activities Week began with the arrival of a McLaren supercar...

And was followed by a jam packed week of events, trips and lots of fun for students across the Senior School.

Thank you to all the students for embracing the week whole heartedly and to all the staff who helped make it happen!

Reflections on the week from a couple of Y12 students below:

"I thoroughly enjoyed activities week as it allowed me to have downtime outside the A-level curriculum, especially post-exams. Having a week with no homework, interacting with your entire year group (not just your core friendship group) and generally “thinking outside the box” was so much more valuable than I imagined. My favourite day was the Year 12 trip to Brighton – that was particularly relaxing, and all my friends and I enjoyed the idea of not actually having to sit down in a classroom. I also really loved the Intellectual Curiosity Day as it stimulated my thoughts and ideas around International Relations, which I wouldn’t necessarily have the chance to explore in lessons. The discussion element of the session was so engaging as everyone contributed and was a free space to share opinions and views."

"During activities week it was our pleasure to have the opportunity to volunteer at a partnership school. It was a tremendous experience gifting us a newfound confidence in teaching and helping younger years. In the following days we were allowed to plan a charter day. This gave us the creative ideas to brainstorm how to improve the charter making it more visible throughout the school. Activities week was a fabulous time with lots of laughs and built our foundation skills."
