At New Hall, we term the myriad of activities and opportunities open to our students outside the classroom as the ‘co-curriculum’. We see these enrichment opportunities, which many schools class as ‘extra-curricular’, as an intrinsic and valued part of our pupils’ educational experience.

We are committed to providing a first class education, and our extended day and week enables us to offer exciting co-curricular opportunities to our pupils at lunchtimes, after school and on Saturdays. These range from gardening to Mandarin and from ski race training to street dance.

The co-curricular programme provides the breadth to a New Hall education that enables us to develop well-balanced young women and men, of which we can all be rightly proud. Many of the skills developed through co-curricular activities are directly transferable to the academic arena. These include problem solving, teamwork and performing under pressure in front of an audience, not to mention the self-confidence that success in these activities can give.

Music, Sport, Art and Design Technology are all incorporated into the mainstream academic curriculum, however pupils have the opportunity in the co-curricular programme to expand on and develop these skills.
