Life at our Academy is so much more than just lessons
We are proud to offer an exciting variety of extra-curricular activities, helping our pupils to uncover their passions, expand their horizons and become well-rounded individuals.
Whether learning an instrument, taking part in a school performance, representing the school at sport, or something else entirely, we are confident every pupil will find an extra-curricular activity they love at our school.
