Vibrant and diverse co-curricular activities
Whitgift balances school life to enable pupils to broaden their horizons and pursue their interests. We are fortunate to possess passionate teaching staff and outstanding facilities which are the basis of a varied co-curricular programme.
Students learn to focus on their current interests and are encouraged to develop new passions. Success is not directly pursued, but will often be the outcome of learning to work hard and applying dedication to the task in hand.
The entire co-curricular programme is designed to foster creativity, innovation, curiosity and excellence, allowing students to make the most of every day at Whitgift. We encourage pupils to give things a try and the nature of how days are organised means that they have ample opportunity do just that. Our activities can be viewed in full within our co-curricular guide are grouped in the following categories:
- Active Education (including Combined Cadet Force & Duke of Edinburgh's Awards)
- Art, culture and special interest
- Drama
- Music
- Sport
- STEM
- Subject Enrichment
Pupils can enrich their week with activities from a broad range of clubs and societies, developing crucial life skills and forging new friendships.

My son had never expressed an interest in acting before he arrived at Whitgift, so the entire family were shocked when he landed a role in the Junior Years Play. He loved it and I'm so grateful to his teachers for helping to support him in finding his passions.
