Extracurricular
As well as benefiting from a variety of academic opportunities, students in the Colfe’s sixth
form are able to choose from a wide range of extra-curricular activities to improve their learning
experience and their time in the school. As well as a number of subject specific societies, the
sixth-form caters for students interested in sport, theatre and music, as well as other
preferences.
There are a number of societies that allow students to extend their interest in certain
subjects. These include the Dead Historians Society, which provides a number of outside speakers
and social events for A Level History students, MedSoc, which helps students interested in a career
medicine improve their knowledge and EcoSoc, a new society for thriving Economics students. These
societies, as well as adding to the sixth form social environment, allow students to further their
interest and knowledge in their favoured subjects, preparing them for a life in university.
Colfe’s caters for athletic students all the way from year seven, and this is no different in
the sixth form. There are a number of sports teams for both boys and girls, including four rugby
teams, three football teams, two cricket teams, hockey teams and netball teams. There are a number
of matches played across the season against other schools, as well as regular training sessions to
improve students sporting capabilities.
As well as sport, Colfe’s caters for students interested in drama and music. There are a
number of theatre visits to see prestigious West End shows, and students are encouraged to take
part in school productions such as ‘Oliver’ and ‘Grease’. This year, there is a school production
of ‘Noises Off’, including only students in the sixth form. For musical students, there is the
opportunity to join the school choir and orchestra, who perform at a number of events across the
school calendar.
