Extra-curricular clubs and activities

• We have an extensive extra-curricular programme with an activity happening every day after school. We provide a broad number of activities that are delivered to those pupils who want to participate for fun and those who want to extend into more competitive sport. We have many school teams which compete at local and national level. We have trips to sporting events to allow pupils to see sport in a different arena to that which they are used to.

Our facilities

We have heavily invested in our school’s sports facilities over the past year and now proudly boast a  500m2 flood-lit multi-use sports pitch on site. This has allowed our pupils to take part in a wide range of sporting activities, during lessons and after-school.

We take full advantage of Walsall’s picturesque arboretum which has a number of tennis courts, table tennis tables and football pitches. It is also the home to the school’s annual cross country competition.

The University of Wolverhampton’s world class sporting facilities are a two minute bus ride away and we take full advantage of this.  It has a multi-million pound Sports Centre and is recognised as one of few Judo Centres of Excellence in the UK by the British Judo Association, and has hosted the British Judo Championships and is a venue for Olympic hopefuls. It also has a 12-court sports hall, sprint track, plus a 20m x 10m swimming pool, tennis courts, and extensive sports fields.
