The school participates in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, taking students through all of the phases from bronze to gold, with expeditions in places such as The Chilterns on Bronze, Dartmoor and Exmoor on Silver, and Scotland, Norway and Corsica on the expeditions for the Gold award.
The school is also home to the Verulam Big Band, a Jazz–Swing band composed of students. The composition of the band varies with each year, and the band has had as many as fifty musicians during some academic years. The band has played many significant local events, such as the Mayor's annual dinner at Sopwell House Hotel, and embarks upon a tour most years to a European country. The band has previously visited Lake Garda in Italy, Barcelona in Spain and the Mosel valley in Germany.
