115 EDGE CHOICES
to develop friendships, passions and skills
It’s the way we offer students EDGE to broaden horizons.
To give our students a panoramic and well-rounded view of the world and what they can achieve, we have created our extensive extra-curricular programme, EDGE, which offers 115 different extra-curricular clubs and activities for our Seniors and 30 for our Juniors. Whether you love adventure or calm, creative arts, music, sport, science, food or technology, there is something for everyone and lots of opportunities to try something new, extend enthusiasms and develop lifelong interests and friendships.
EDGE
You’ll like the way OUR STUDENTS HAVE EDGE.
We dedicate every Wednesday afternoon for our Senior students to participate in our EDGE (Enriching and Developing Girls Education) programme which offers brilliantly empowering personal development opportunities for all. Packed with personal development initiatives from exploring creative, debating or engineering potential to coding, composing or pottery, our dynamic programme of activities is constantly evolving and driven by students’ ideas and interests.
Proud to be a Duke of Edinburgh CENTRE
Discover the way we go further to equip students for the DUKE OF EDINBURGH award scheme
Students are encouraged to challenge themselves at every opportunity and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is always a popular choice. Students can take part from Year 10, beginning with Bronze Level and progressing to Silver and Gold levels in Years 11 – 13. The award includes participation in a wide range of activities that include volunteering and also an expedition. We arrange training sessions for the expedition section in school and also both the practice and qualifying expeditions.
So much to see. So much to do. So why not join?
Besides being stimulating, inclusive and rewarding they offer plenty of opportunities to ignite passions, spark interests, forge friendships, broaden horizons and develop the ability to innovate, invent, inspire and lead. Taking place during lunchtimes, after school and every Wednesday afternoon, students can choose how, where and when they want to be involved, with plenty of opportunities to help run and lead as well as participate.
