Weekends

When it comes to nurturing the development of our students, we believe the weekends are just as important as time spent in lessons.

They provide an opportunity for girls to indulge their curiosity and creativity while building confidence and encouraging socialising outside the classroom environment.

Saturday Mornings

Our Saturday Programme runs from 8.30am – 12.20pm on Saturdays in term time and is an integrated part of our pupils’ education at College. All day and boarding pupils attend these sessions, which provide an opportunity for both academic lessons and an enrichment programme that extends their learning beyond the curriculum. Saturday morning activities often include external speakers, concerts, or professional theatre, music or science workshops. Saturday day trips also often include inspiring days out to visit historic sites, museums and conferences.

Saturday afternoons and Sundays

For many pupils, Saturday afternoons are spent playing sport as we have a busy fixture list with up to 20 teams competing every week. For others, this time presents the opportunity to relax or take part in House activities.

Sundays are also full of opportunities for pupils to unwind and enjoy time with their friends. From games in the park or ice skating to pizza and film evenings, College organises a range of fun and relaxed activities to keep pupils entertained.

Alongside the in-house activities for boarders, there are joint activities through the Weekend Programme in which all pupils (day and boarding) at CLC are invited to take part in. Some activities will be allocated to individual year groups, but others are open to all on a sign up basis. Examples of activities included are roller discos, trips to West Midland Safari Park, the Everyman Theatre and much more.

Integrated into our successful co-curricular scheme, the Weekend Programme demonstrates our commitment to nurturing pupils’ development both inside and outside the classroom.

Although most aspects of the Weekend Programme are not compulsory for Day Girls, they are warmly encouraged to participate and many enjoy taking part in the weekend activities on offer.
