Extra & Co-curricular

Wolverhampton Grammar School offers the largest range of Extra and Co-curricular activities, clubs, societies, trips, international expeditions and sport tours of any Independent School in the area.

The School supports over 100 Extra and Co-curricular activities and there really is something to suit all abilities and interests. Everything from Political Forum, Technology Clubs, Warhammer to Climbing, Cooking Club to Gardening.

Our School is open, every school day from 7.30am and after lessons until 6.15pm. Teachers are on hand, every day before and after school to support children with their studies and homework. Local, national and international trips and expeditions provide unique, life and curriculum enrichment opportunities for students too.

View the timetable provided in this booklet to find out what clubs and activities are happening during the Spring Term or visit our club and sports fixture listings on the School website here.

Current students and parents can also find club calendars on the Firefly student and parent portals.

All the School clubs listed are available before School, lunchtime or after School.

Even with “bubble” restrictions in place, we still want to ensure every child has the opportunity to get involved and try something in addition to their day to day lessons at School. Just because we can’t offer our usual 100+ clubs and activities – doesn’t mean you can’t try something new!
