Sports

Sport plays a key role in Claremont sixth form life for many students. It’s often a perfect counterbalance to the demands of academic work, a chance to engage different parts of the mind and body and generate plenty of endorphins!

As well as core competitive sports like rugby, football, cricket, lacrosse and netball, students have the chance to try a range of other sociable activities.

Alternative sports on offer are:

  • Tennis
  • Trampolining
  • Hiking
  • Table Tennis
  • Archery
  • Cross Country
  • Fencing
  • Golf
  • Fitness suite

Wednesday afternoon is when games takes place. Not only do our sixth form students take part in the on site activities listed above, but they are also given the opportunity to try out various sports off site too. This includes golf at Clare Hill golf course and fitness classes such as Spinning and Boxfit at Sandown Racecourse.

House days bring the whole school together, including sixth form. Pupils enjoy competing in various activities for their houses, enriching their co-curricular life with school spirit.

Co-curricular

There are more than thirty five co-curricular clubs available for any pupil from Year 7 to upper sixth, providing a huge range of choice for sixth form students, along with the opportunity to help younger pupils develop their interests. Activities on offer range from debating to car maintenance, self defence to university cooking skills, as well as organisations such as medical and law societies. Some of these activities are set up and run by the students themselves, with our guidance and support.

Sixth form students also play an integral role in all major Senior School performances, including the carol service, annual theatrical production and musical teas. They also act as captains of each of the houses, take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and Young Enterprise programmes.

Co-curricular life

At Claremont Fan Court School, we believe that a well-rounded education goes beyond the classroom. Our Co-curricular Life booklet showcases a wide array of activities. We foster an atmosphere in which pupils can always “have a go” at trying out something new. It is a delight to watch our pupils’ passion for their clubs grow as they do. From Pre-Nursery age, all the way through to sixth form, we help pupils find clubs where they can unlock their potential. Whether it be a new sport, an activity, or a skill, our diverse programme enables pupils to discover their passions, explore new ideas, and achieve their goals.

 

Summer Celebrations

Summer Celebrations is a two-week period towards the end of the summer term which encompasses an uplifting collection of team-building trips, tuneful concerts, show-stopping productions and artistic exhibitions. Dive into our brochure to discover how the whole school celebrated all things enrichment in 2022.
