Clubs & After School Activities – Year 9

Activities and trips outside of the classroom are an important part of our curriculum and we believe these experiences enrich students’ lives and deepen their understanding of subjects.

Here is an example of the fantastic opportunities that are on offer for our Year 9 students.*

 

Trip What’s It About
Paris/Versailles Homestay French students use language for real purpose, experiencing culture differences, tolerance and understanding of others…and maybe a little trip to Disney too!
Ski Trip Last year’s trip to Italy was a hit.  Fresh air and strenuous exercise are all good for physical, mental health and wellbeing, not to mention a great life experience exploring the world!
Salamanca Trip Spanish students use language for real purpose, experiencing culture differences, tolerance and understanding of others to support their GCSE studies.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park Trip For art and photography students to support their GCSE coursework.
UKMT Regional and National Finals Chance for Maths high achievers to compete regionally against lots of other schools and finger crossed make it to the national final…which we quite often do!
