Activities and Outdoor Pursuits
 
  Outdoor Pursuits, the CCF and Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

Every pupil in the first two years follows a short ten week outdoor pursuit course. These courses are designed to challenge them, while encouraging self-confidence and self-reliance through tackling often unfamiliar and exciting activities. These include hill-walking, climbing, abseiling, canoeing, gorge-scrambling, navigation and camping. An option in outdoor pursuits is also available as part of the senior games programme.
 
                   
 
     

Groups are kept small, both for reasons of safety and to ensure maximum active participation.

CCF and Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
A Combined Cadet Force, comprising Army and Royal Air Force Sections, operates within the School for pupils in the Third Form (Year 9) and above. This offers the opportunity to experience activities such as shooting, flying and gliding and to sign up for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. In the Fifth Form (Year 11), pupils may opt to undertake a Community Service option instead of the CCF.
