EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES 2026–2027
Our Extracurricular Programme offers a wide range of group activities and private lessons designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, well-being and personal growth beyond the classroom.
Exciting Enhancements for 2026–2027
Guided by community feedback and our commitment to continuous improvement, we are delighted to introduce a range of new initiatives and enhancements for the coming academic year, offering meaningful opportunities that enrich every student's experience and foster academic achievement, creativity, wellbeing, and sporting excellence.
Preschool
Our youngest learners will benefit from the introduction of Wood Crafting for PS3, offering a fun, hands-on experience that develops creativity and fine motor skills.
Primary Child Care
Following positive feedback from families, we are strengthening the homework support element of our Primary Child Care programme. Students will participate in structured study sessions led by our bilingual teachers in a dedicated learning environment, helping them complete, review, and consolidate their schoolwork. The programme will also work closely with the academic team to reinforce key concepts and skills identified across all year groups.
Secondary Programme
Our Secondary offering expands with a new Emotional Intelligence course, helping students build self-awareness, confidence, focus, and strong interpersonal skills. We are also introducing Graffiti Art, encouraging creativity and self-expression. To further support academic success, we are launching dedicated courses in IB Support, English as an Additional Language (EAL), and Étude Dirigée (Supervised Study).
Sports Programme
Our partnership with our Judo provider has been enhanced, with enrolment now including club membership and access to local and regional competitions for both Primary and Secondary students. Our Artistic Gymnastics programme has also been redesigned to provide a clearer progression pathway and better prepare students wishing to participate in local events.
