While in school there are a number of sports, arts, music, drama and science clubs and societies to encourage students to get involved. Exploring the world beyond Stratford is also central to our philosophy and this is achieved via the curriculum as our staff encourage students to see the world beyond the school gates. This ethos is enhanced by our extra-curricular provision. Your daughter is likely to have the opportunity to take part in a residential trip during her time here. Some of our students have enriched their education through journeying as far as Costa Rica, Borneo, India and China. We are proud to have recently offered an MFL exchange programme for GCSE and A Level language students as well as trips to CERN in Switzerland, Berlin for History and to New York for a Jazz trip.
