The balance between academic and non-academic subjects is still carefully maintained, however, and pupils will still be involved in all kinds of sporting, outdoor, recreational and creative pursuits as part of their normal school life. Activities on offer during the school day include playing in the orchestra, going cross-country running, rehearsing for the school play, riding, looking after the farm animals or using the indoor climbing wall.


At weekends, there are all kinds of cultural, sporting, recreational and outdoor-based trips. Then, in the holidays they can, for example, join a conservation project in South America, mountaineer in the Himalayas or be a member of a sports team on an international tour.


The democratic ethos of the school ensures that their views are listened to and respected, and by now, our pupils have evolved into confident, assured individuals who relate well to the younger pupils, to their peers and to the staff. They respect the opinions of other people, and respond well to being given responsibility. They are good competitors who play hard and enjoy winning,whilst realising that winning is not everything.
