Enrichment Clubs
It has been long recognised that students will perform better in the classroom if they are fully engaged outside of it. At Verulam we benefit from a long tradition of extra-curricular opportunities at lunchtimes; after-school; weekends and during the school holidays. We are always looking for ways to strengthen and deepen our Extra Curricular Core Offer.
The timetable below outlines the wide and varied choice of Enrichment Clubs currently on offer at Verulam School. We encourage our students to take-up at least two options from those given, but of course many of our boys choose to participate in many more!
Each club is run by staff and sixth formers with an interest in the field chosen.
