Additional Learning Opportunities

Student participation in extra-curricular activities takes equal importance alongside academic performance at The Winchester School. Through participation in these events, students enrich their school days.

In addition to physical development and the exploration of interests, students learn the thrill of challenge and competition, the importance of concentration, the spirit of teamwork and a sense of accomplishment.

We provide a rich extra-curricular programme that supports student’s all-round development, providing opportunities for students to develop talents and explore new interests. Activities include a wide range of both individual pursuits and team building activities for all students to choose from. Our students can participate in our after-school Learning Opportunities programmes.
