Clubs can be a great way for students to build friendships in an informal setting, through the enjoyment of a shared hobby, the development of a new or existing skill, or collaborative effort towards a common goal. They can also provide an important network of support and represent a ‘safe space’ where students can feel confident to be themselves and explore aspects of their identity with like-minded peers.

It isn’t compulsory to join a club, and some students decide it’s the right decision not to join any clubs, for a whole host of reasons – and that is fine! On the other hand, students can join multiple clubs, and almost all are free to attend (except the Peter Jones Foundation clubs).

Whichever club or clubs a student joins, there is an expectation of regular attendance and positive engagement. In time, each club will have student ambassadors helping to promote its activities both in school and beyond – could that be you?!  We have over 20 clubs to choose from. Ranging from AI to Art and Cooking and Baking to Core Fit and Creative Writing.
