Societies

The societies programme is curated and run by our Sixth Form students for our younger Senior School girls. Societies are open to students in all year groups, giving Sixth Form students the potential to explore their personal interests and passions, whilst developing their organisational and interpersonal skills in their final year of school. For our Senior School students it allows them to develop friendships with girls in other years; and for our Sixth Formers preparing for Higher Education, the societies allow them to act as role models for the rest of the school.

A teacher-supervisor will guide and help students to devise a programme of meetings and activities; there are also opportunities to invite in external speakers. Examples of societies in 2024 include: Amnesty International, Bio-Medical, Dissection, Debating, Engineering, Equality, Fashion Show, French Film, Film, Geography, Law, Sustainability, Politics, Psychology and Wings of Hope. There is a society to cater to all interests.

Some societies are exclusively run for Sixth Form students to encourage academic exploration beyond A-level specifications. This helps to cement success in examinations and encourages intellectual curiosity; it enables students to encounter a wider variety of concepts and to be inspired by their subjects outside the classroom. Through a plethora of opportunities, students can build upon foundations as a young adult ready for future skills and challenges post-18.
