We recognise that the children learn just as much outside the classroom as they do in it. The exceptional breadth of our co-curricular provision, enables each one of our children to be inspired and to pursue their individual interests; for some it could be a love of languages or sport, for others, performing on the stage or a desire to know more about the environment, some pupils may not know what they are interested in yet, and others may wish to pursue all of the above and more!
Whether it be playing water polo in our pool, skiing down the slopes, taking up a new sport, collecting eggs from our chickens, making apple juice in our Orchard, organising an event to raise funds for a pupil-chosen charity, team building in Italy, visiting volcanoes in Iceland, singing in Eton College Chapel, performing in a Musical production, learning how to make a podcast, taking part in a public speaking competition, building a campfire or simply, playing in our grounds, these experiences compliment and add to a whole rounded educational experience.
Each Monday all of our pupils in the Prep School have a dedicated ‘Enrichment Afternoon’ with opportunities for our pupils continue to complement their academic studies in areas including, Farming, Bee Keeping, Chess, Mountain Biking, Fencing, Judo, Film Making, Scuba Diving, Squash, Song writing, Mini Masterchef, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Golf (on our 9 hole course), Polo, Podcast making, Sewing, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis, Life Saving, Survival, Debating and Public Speaking. Pupils are encouraged to choose something that interests them (without adult guidance) and to try a new enrichment activity each half term.
Children from across the school put themselves forward to be a part of these various clubs and have also set up their own initiatives. These have included a pupil-led Rock Band, a student newspaper ‘The Lambrook Times’ and an Eco Team represented by all year groups from Reception to Year 8.
In addition, pupils take part in various Clubs before and after school and during break and lunch times. These might include a debating or discussion club, being a part of a choir or band, putting on a drama production, playing hockey, netball, cricket, rugby or football, or taking up something completely different, like clay pigeon shooting, there is certainly something for everyone!
Trips
The School offers trips for all year groups, and has recently taken pupils to various destinations, including Sweden, France, Italy, Iceland, Somerset, Dorset, South Africa and the Isle of Wight. Each excursion has equipped pupils with many transferable skills and has provided valuable opportunities to teach pupils about the world in which they live.
