Extra Curricular

We have an extensive co-curricular programme made up of clubs and societies. These offer our girls a diverse range of activities to pursue their interests and inspiring further achievement beyond the classroom and range from the arts to quizzes, debates and dance.

Our clubs and societies provide an ideal foundation for girls to develop a life-long love of learning for its own sake; a principle that lies at the heart of the ethos of both the Prep and Senior Schools. The spirit of developing wide and varied interests for enrichment continues with Streatham & Clapham School’s Kinza programme.
