Enrichment
Trips
THERE ARE MANY TRIPS AVAILABLE to our Sixth Formers every year, from field trips, cultural city visits, nights out at the theatre and expeditions to Africa (Project Gambia) and South America (Edukid Peru). It goes with saying that all the trips have a big element of fun but they also serve to enhance your understanding of other cultures, improve your conversational skills in foreign languages and offer you a fresh perspective on the world.
Recent trips include:
- Munich – German trip to Christmas Markets
- London – Drama residential taking in 3 shows and a tour of the National Theatre
- Cost Rica - Expedition
- Belgium – Music Tour
- London – Art and Graphics trip
- Peru – Edukid Peru
- Gambia – Project Gambia
- Geneva – CERN Physic Trip
Sport
AT THE GRANGE SCHOOL WE recognise the significant and wide-ranging benefits of regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, our Sixth Form curriculum includes ‘Sport for All’ every Wednesday afternoon. Students can select from a wide range of options, from zumba to climbing. In addition, our senior sports teams contest a full complement of fixtures in both regional and national competitions. There is also a Rowing Club and we benefit from our own boathouse on the River Weaver.
Many of our sporting activities take place in our state of the art Sports Centre. Complete with a dance studio, climbing wall, gym and a multi-purpose sports hall, the facilities enable us to offer the widest possible range of high-quality opportunities. The Sports Centre is in addition to The Grange’s other outdoor facilities which include a floodlit multi-use games area, an all weather pitch and a practice running track for athletics. We also have our own Sports Pavilion with full-size rugby, football and cricket pitches a short walk away.
Music & Drama
|
THE GRANGE SCHOOL PUTS ON two productions each year and our most recent production was ‘Evita’. In all of these areas, Sixth Form students can take a lead performing or behind the scenes: in direction, stage management, lighting and sound, costume or front of house. In Music there are amazing opportunities to take part in a multitude of ensembles. Across a typical year, over 1,000 performers are involved in a variety of local community, evening and end of term concerts. As in every enrichment opportunity, Sixth Form students (particularly the Music Captains) take a leading role in terms of organisation and performance. In addition, there are also biennial House Drama and Music competitions. Finally, Trinity Speech and Drama examinations are available, as are private music lessons, up to Grade 8 and Diploma level. |
