Art and sport are particularly emphasised, with football, netball, cross-country, gymnastics, table tennis, athletics, short tennis,a thletics, short tennis, basketball, rugby, hockey and cricket among the sports on offer. The school recently achieved the FA Charter Standard and Sport England's Activemark status. A large number of extra-curricular activities take place every day, and might include sports, drama, recorders, French, aerobics and chess.
