Discover, grow, and thrive with our Clubs @ Castle! Extra-curricular activities aren't just an add-on to the school day, they are a core part of building confidence, discovering new passions, developing teamwork, and making lifelong memories. This academic year, we are committed to making our club offer bigger and better than ever. Here is what's coming: Expanding the Horizon: We are launching brand-new clubs based directly on student feedback. Broader Access: Adjusting schedules and formats so more students can participate across all year groups. Student Leadership: Giving older students the chance to lead, mentor, and help design new activities. Check out our current timetable, encourage your child to try something new this week, and keep an eye out for exciting additions to the timetable throughout the term! Which new club or activity would your child love to see us introduce next?
