Extra Curricular

The curriculum experience at JHGS extends far beyond the timetable. We believe that education should be broad, enriching and full of opportunities for students to discover new interests, develop their talents and build skills and experiences beyond the classroom.

That ambition is reflected in exceptional levels of participation. Over 80% of the school community take part in at least one school-based extra-curricular activity. On average, each student engages with 3.8 different extra-curricular opportunities.

From sport, music and performance to academic societies, debating, coding, creative activities and student-led groups, opportunities run throughout the school day and extend into evenings, weekends and holidays. In 2025–26, 61.5% of students participated in wider-interest clubs and societies and more than 40% engaged in school sport, demonstrating the breadth of involvement across the school.

Together, these experiences encourage students to explore their interests, develop confidence and leadership, form new connections and pursue excellence beyond their academic studies.

Please view the Extra Curricular Booklet to see more information regarding the opportunities available. Please note that details are correct at time of publication.
