Activ­it­ies

Lively, varied and stim­u­lat­ing best describe the vari­ous activ­it­ies that Friends’ School offers. We are bril­liantly placed between Cambridge and London, so there are regu­lar cultural oppor­tun­it­ied to be enjoyed, from galler­ies, museums and theatres to lectures and exhib­i­tions. We like to get further afield too, with resid­en­tial experiences,exchange visits, ski trips, art history excur­sions and plenty more popping up regu­larly on the calendar.

All students are welcome from 8am and they may stay until their year group goes up into house. The extens­ive activ­it­ies programme is regu­larly updated to accom­mod­ate students’ interests. There are currently activ­it­ies includ­ing pottery, debat­ing, book club, IT, and chess in addi­tion to sports, art and drama clubs. Activ­it­ies are also provided on Saturday morn­ings for boarders, and for day schol­ars who choose to join in.

From the age of 11, your child can bene­fit from the flexi -board­ing facil­ity in school. If pupils need to stay for an occa­sional night, and there is space in the Board­ing House, then this can be easily arranged. The cost is often a pleas­ant surprise to parents when they compare it with the cost of a baby sitter. The strong sense of community at Friends’ ensures that pupils feel welcome.
