Extra Curricular sports clubs provide the opportunity for as many students as possible to participate in a variety of physical activities, whatever their level of ability. Activities are offered during period six every Tuesday, as well as lunchtimes and after school. Some clubs are purely recreation based whilst others train for matches. Many girls go on to be selected to represent at District, County, Regional and National level. School colours are awarded in recognition of pupils' outstanding commitment and ability in their chosen sport.
Due to a large number of requests from pupils and parents alike, Cookery has been offered as a club since September 2008.
