Dear Parents
We are delighted to be able to provide you with a comprehensive guide to the extracurricular programme running at the School next term.
This booklet will provide you with an overview of all clubs; those run by members of the teaching staff as well as those run by external professional coaches. This information includes a variety of new club which will run in the Lent Term – Senior Rock Band, Wind & Brass Ensemble, Schola Cantorum Chamber Choir and Basketball with Guildford Heat. We are also delighted to announce that as a result of the floodlights being installed After-School Training, Tennis and Football will run for the duration of the term.
Not only will you be able to see a programme of events, but also a brief explanation of each club and what is to be covered over the course of the term.
As in previous terms, all clubs are run on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. With this in mind please do not delay in returning the booking form, on the back page, to avoid disappointment.
Wehope that this new format provides you all with the information you require. If, however, you feel there is something missing, or requires further clarification, please do not hesitate to get in touch:
