Extra-curricular Activities
Pupils participate in activity sessions in beekeeping, horseriding, rowing, debating, stock broking, cricket, rugby and rowing, or continue academic study in Ancient Greek, Russian or general studies.
In 2010 the school held a mock election, where pupils from Sixth Form politics classes acted as candidates representing the main British political parties. The Conservative Party representative won by a large margin- over 100 votes.
Pupils help to raise money for their designated house charities. These charities can be local, national or international. Each house typically raises over £2,000 per year through a variety of fundraising activities.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
