Co-curricular

We actively encourage students to participate in co-curricular activities, and set aside ample time for young adults to pursue their interests. Rowing, debating, crafts, chess, languages … the list goes on.

With over 50 clubs and societies for students to explore–including those that will nurture their academic success–the opportunities for personal development truly are endless.

Outdoors

Nestling on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, and within striking distance of the Lake District, opportunities abound for outdoor visits and residential trips.

Fostering teamwork and life skills, activities such as hill-walking, camping and orienteering, the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme broaden students’ horizons, encouraging their happiness and success.

Adventure-seeking students may also pursue expeditions to far flung destinations, giving them a chance to travel the world and experience different cultures. By broadening the horizons of our pupils, we aim to give them a thirst for adventure; something that they can explore further within the Sixth Form. View our trips forward planner.
