 Enrichment and Extra-Curricular

  • We have a weekly Languages Club for Key Stage 3 (where we do French and we have also started Spanish and Polish!). We have food tastings, watch films, do drama, art and songs.
  • We also give every child in our school a chance to experience international movies creatively through an International Film Club where we watch movies in foreign languages (we will also review and make movies ourselves!).
  • We also have close links with Holy Cross Sixth Form College, and sometimes have their A level pupils visit us to help with speaking practice.
  • We have a trip to Berlin with the History Department for Year 11 pupils.
