Extracurricular

Enrichment Beyond the Curriculum

Education at Collingham Kensington is not just about exam results. We believe in nurturing the whole student through a rich and varied extracurricular programme that promotes creativity, confidence, wellbeing and curiosity.

Whether through clubs, lectures, or informal opportunities to explore new interests, our students are encouraged to engage with the wider world and grow beyond the classroom.

Opportunities Include:

> Art Club: Develop creative skills, build a portfolio, and explore new media

> LAMDA and Drama Workshops: Build public speaking, performance and confidence

> Debating and Current Affairs Society: Sharpen analytical and communication skills

> Film, Book and Philosophy Clubs: Explore ideas, express opinions, and broaden cultural understanding

> Fitness and Wellbeing Activities: Access to local sports and wellness facilities

We also support students pursuing high-level extracurricular activities outside of school—including music, sport, and the arts—by providing flexible scheduling and mentoring.
