Discover the range of co-curricular activities and activity programmes that are available to seniors at St Swithun’s School. |
Weekly Co-Curricular Programme
In addition to music, drama and sports activities the school’s regular after-school programme includes drop-in sessions and societies across a varied range of subjects such as biology, maths, chemistry, linguistics and debating. Golf, archery, karate and fencing are part of the weekly sporting programme as well as the opportunity to take part in training with Winchester and District Athletics Club.
We run three choirs, five rock bands and three orchestras and instrument ensemble groups which reflect the girls’ interests at the time. Pupils commit to an after-school activity for one term. Form tutors help to ensure that the girls have a good balance of co-curricular activities and that they honour any priority sport, music or drama activities for which they are required.
Weekend Activity Programme for Boarders
At St Swithun's, weekends are filled with a diverse range of cultural, social, and recreational activities to cater the interests for every boarder. The program offers a mix of ‘downtime’ and new experiences, with activities varying each week, such as rock-climbing, mountain biking, London visits, art workshops, golf, movie nights, and social events with local schools.
Our Weekend and Co-Curricular Activities Booklet and Co-Curricular Activities Poster are here for your perusal.
With two to three activities on Friday evenings and seven to ten options on Saturday and Sunday, each weekend is unique and provides numerous opportunities to try new things.
Academic Enrichment
Through our Academic enrichment programme, students explore academic ideas beyond the curriculum. It is an opportunity to engage and participate in academic research, develop critical and creative thinking and skills, and build intellectual confidence
Every week we run academic lunches for all senior school students, run either by an impressive collection of guests speakers, academic visitors or by our own students.
