Co-Curricular Activities

We believe that school life is about developing a strong sense of character as well as academically.  Therefore, in order to develop character learning we have a broad range of very popular extra curricular activities.

Sport and physical activity is an important aspect to life at the school and our sports teams are recognised as some of the best in West Sussex.  We are fortunate to have outstanding facilities including extensive fields, astro-turf, hard courts, sports hall, gymnasium, dance studio, swimming pool and fitness suite for students to enjoy.

We have a very successful music department and outstanding art programme, both departments offering a wide range of activity options.  With high quality school drama productions that students can also get involved in.

In addition to clubs and activities, many departments organise visits and residential trips which provide experiences that the students can draw on throughout their lives.  In addition to exchange visits to France, Germany and Spain, there are other residential trips to destinations such as The Ardeche, CERN and Norfolk Broads.

What I have loved about my three years so far at SGS are the brilliant resources and facilities. For example, I really enjoy the library at shooting field, which has a range of books and ebooks (which I can read on my iPad at home and at school).
