Academic Support and Extension
We offer an exciting range of academic societies to expand pupils’ learning and to develop their curiosity and enthusiasm. The sessions run regularly to help pupils consolidate or extend their work in the classroom.
Staff are always happy to assist pupils on a 1:1 basis.
The table below shows the sessions for the 2021-2022 academic year. More sessions will be added in due course.
