Co-Curricular

Our Co-Curricular Programmes

King Edward’s is reputed for the breadth and depth of our co-curricular activities. Our overall aims are to encourage our pupils to explore and engage with a range of activities, and for them to want to continue those activities they have enjoyed once they leave the school, at a level of their choosing, whilst providing a supportive, high performance environment where pupils wishing to excel in their passions are supported in their goals, including by provision of scholarships in art, drama, design technology, music and sport.

We offer over 50 co-curricular clubs and societies, with our extensive provision beginning with the Queen Mary House carousel programme, offering our curious youngest pupils the opportunity to try a wide range of new opportunities, including chess, design technology, forest school, sustainability club and swimming in our on-site pool. Many clubs are led by teaching staff; some are pupil-led and others provided by external experts. Activities predominantly take place after school or on Saturdays, with most attracting no additional charge. We also offer an extensive trips programme, with a range of opportunities to travel with the school locally, in the UK and internationally on academic and co-curricular adventures.
