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:
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
