Extra Curricular

Extra curricular activities help girls to learn about themselves and develop their skills and knowledge in a variety of different and new environments.

We were delighted to be in the Top 3 Prep Schools for Best Extra Curricular, as awarded by The Week Magazine’s Independent Schools Guide 2025.
