Clubs

Five clubs. One aim: well-rounded young people.

Our club programme targets 21st-century skills โ€” creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking โ€” through STEM, sport, performance, life skills and swimming.

Our clubs

Clubs run alongside the Cambridge curriculum on weekday afternoons, with fixtures, rehearsals, galas and trips at weekends. Every club is grouped by age phase so activities stay safe and age-appropriate.

STEM Club

Science, technology, engineering & mathematics

STEM-based activities in our science and ICT labs โ€” coding, robotics, practical experiments, design challenges and mathematics problem-solving. Members build the critical thinking and innovation the Cambridge learner attributes call for, and showcase their work at the annual science fair.

Life Skills Club

Character, leadership & service

Life skills activities and the school's career guidance programme come together here: study skills and time management, financial literacy, health and wellbeing, leadership training, community service and outreach. This is where the Four C's โ€” confidence, creativity, character and competence โ€” are practised, not just taught.

Targeting 21st-century skills

Every club is designed around the four capabilities our brochure puts at the centre of life beyond the classroom.

Creativity

Nurtured across every club, from design challenges to stage performance.

Collaboration

Teams, squads, ensembles and service projects โ€” children learn with and from each other.

Communication

Public speaking, debate and presentation coaching in every age phase.

Critical thinking

Problem-solving, experimentation and reflection at the heart of the club programme.
