Extra-Curricular Activities

Our extra-curricular offering at the Junior School is dazzling! We offer a combination of lunchtime and after-school clubs run by our teachers, and others run by external providers that come to Wicken Park to run sessions with the children each week.

The clubs include many subjects taken across the week as part of our curriculum such as Music, Times Tables Rockstars and Art, but allow children extra time to explore the subject more fully.
There are also many more clubs where children can try something entirely new, such as Young Farmers Club, where children work on crafts and are able to sell them from time to time on a stall at school to parents and visitors.

We also offer sessions in Yoga, Programming, Girls’ Tag Rugby, Cooking, Creative Writing, Music Tech, Lacrosse, Street Dance and Watercolour painting. Whatever your child is into, we have something to inspire their passion, creativity and sense of fun!

We believe extra-curricular education has a key role to play in the development of the whole child academically, socially and emotionally.

trips

Junior trips.

Our Junior School children enjoy a plethora of trips, designed to extend our student's educational experience, build independence and to provide memorable experiences beyond the classroom. Day trips are offered to children in every year group and are always looked forward to with much anticipation; from visits to Big Rock climbing centre, Woburn Safari Park and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology.

Residential trips are offered from Year 3 upwards and vary from epic adventures at Land and Wave in Dorset, to glamping in the forest at Camp Wilderness in Hertfordshire, leaving children with a fantastic set of memories alongside new found confidence.
