Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings the library and ICT areas in the school are open to enable the students to complete homework and coursework supported by a team of teachers and teaching assistants.

Clubs
There are a variety of clubs at lunchtime and most evenings after school.

Short Courses
These courses run for a short concentrated period. The current offer includes Italian, Japanese, mosaics, extension art and canoeing.

Course work catch-up and examination preparation session
These are on offer at key periods during the school year when the students are preparing for SATs, GCSEs or GNVQs. These may take place during the evening, Saturdays and during the holidays.
