Extra & Co-curricular

Providing an exciting and fulfilling life outside of the classroom is key to a child’s physical, mental and social wellbeing, and is something we pride ourselves on offering at Wolverhampton Grammar School.

With over 100 Extra and Co-curricular activities, societies, clubs, academic workshops, trips and expeditions and sport tours, there really is something to suit all abilities and interests. Students can also be responsible for setting up their own clubs or societies at any time. The range of activities on offer is extremely diverse, with the likes of Political Forum, Climbing Clubs, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Computer Science Club to even a Gardening Club, the list is endless!

Our students can also hold exhibitions in our purpose-built Viner Gallery and even perform their productions in our industry standard Hutton Theatre.

Our students can also take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (Bronze, Silver and Gold levels); Coast 2 Coast Charity Run; guest speakers during assemblies, as well as Art Lectures every month in the Senior School; Medical Society Guest lectures throughout the year at lunchtimes for Year 11 and Sixth Form; and opportunities to get involved at School Open Days and Discovery Days

Extra and co-curricular booklet Autumn 2020

Autumn Term 2020 Activities

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!

View the timetable provided in this booklet to find out what School clubs are happening during the Autumn 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.
