Life at College is busy and engaging, with a full academic curriculum throughout the week, our Saturday Programme, and many co-curricular opportunities in the evenings and on weekends. Students are guided on how best to balance their academic and co-curricular pursuits, to ensure they also have time to relax and enjoy life in the Houses.

All pupils attend the Saturday Programme, which runs from 8.30am – 12.20pm on Saturdays in term time. Sessions provide an opportunity for both academic lessons and an enrichment programme to extend pupils' education beyond the curriculum.
The programme breaks down barriers between subjects by providing opportunities for cross-curricular and vertical year group activities. It aims to be relevant, innovative and interesting for each year group in College and draws on the skills of College staff and external groups and speakers.
To give a framework and direction to the programme, it has been designed with inspiration from the RSA Opening Minds five categories of competences: learning, citizenship, relating to people, managing situations and managing people. New activities are continually being developed and added, making it a flexible and hugely valuable part of life at College.
