Sports and activities
The school runs many activities for the students including self-defence lessons and afterschool clubs such as football, rugby and cricket. The school's astronomy club recently acquired a refractive telescope which was donated by the Society for Popular Astronomy as part of the Telescopes For Schools project.
Every summer, the school has a 'Sports Day' for each of the five houses - Mendip, Malvern, Brecon, Chiltern and Cotswold. The day includes multiple athletic events including running and most field sports.
Buildings
Construction of the new building for the science, IT and music departments was completed in 2008. The old science block has also been restored and now replaces the history terrapins and turtles.
