Extra Curricular Activities

We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities for our students after school

1. Einstein lecture

A mathematic journey to show that the flow of time does in fact slow down and speed up depending on how quickly you are moving!

2. Chemistry of colour

3. Reading  Science

4. History of atom

In this after-school activity, students will explore how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. We will take a journey from Democritus’ idea of indivisible particles, through Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr, to the modern quantum model.

Students will:

1. Build simple atom models to represent different theories.

2. Try a hands-on marble experiment to simulate Rutherford’s gold foil experiment.

3. Watch short videos and animations to see how each discovery was made."

5. Climate change

In this after-school session, students will investigate how fossils provide evidence of past climates and help us understand climate change today. Using real fossils from the Norfolk area, they will get a hands-on experience examining ancient shells, plants, and marine life that reveal what the environment was like millions of years ago.

Activities will include:

• 1. Handling and observing fossils to identify species and habitats.
• 2. Creating a timeline of climate shifts in Norfolk (from Ice Age to present).
• 3. Discussing how fossil evidence connects to today’s issues of global warming and sea-level rise.

By the end, students will see how fossils act as a window into Earth’s past, and why studying them is important for predicting our climate future."

5. Crochet

6. Sports Fixtures

7. Fusion 360 - design

9. Vehicle Maintenance (Year 10 Only)

Vehicle maintenance for year 10 students who have an interest in how a motor vehicle should be periodically maintained and regularly serviced, hands on skills will be developed with the use of basic tools and equipment along with a basic understanding of some inner workings of modern car mechanical and eletrical systems.

10. Bloodbowl - Strategy Game
