We believe that clubs and activities taking place outside the classroom and after school hours are an important part of the life of the school. Not only do they enrich the education we provide, they help our young people to develop their own personal qualities and strengths and use their initiative.
Please click on the list below to view a list of our school clubs, days and times. Please note these may be subject to change depending on the current Government Covid 19 guidelines.
