Extra-Curricular
We place great emphasis on learning outside the classroom at Verulam and seize every opportunity to get the boys out into the real world. The benefits are many: it promotes self-confidence; builds leadership skills; creates optimism; encourages team-work; teaches participants how to deal with risk; improves physical well-being; reduces stress and fosters a better understanding and respect for our environment. Timetabled lessons may be taught outside during the normal school day and our extensive extra-curricular programme offers students a multitude of opportunities.
Clubs & Societies
Beyond the classroom our rich co-curricular offer supports students on a journey of self-discovery. A diverse range of clubs and societies enriches, opening students’ minds to the endless possibilities that exist.
Although we educate bright students for bright futures, we value their happiness, encouraging them to realise their passions, understand their self-worth, and own their vulnerabilities, in order to unleash their potential.
As Shakespeare notes “Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.” The unique offer at Verulam ensures that students enjoy a range of opportunities that make their time here seem to fly by, and eagerly return each day to experience more.
Our Verulam community teaches and encourages students to be inclusive, celebrating both our differences whilst cherishing that which binds us together. Verulam is a school for all types of individuals, where all are celebrated and supported to thrive. In every sphere, we encourage students to broaden their horizons, and give them every opportunity to take flight. If a student has an interest that is not yet fulfilled, we’ll help them find a way of pursuing it.
Pupils are encouraged to join any clubs and societies that they are interested in and to explore new opportunities, regardless of previous experience. We also boast a range of links and partnerships within the local community, that enhance our co-curricular offer.
Our new timetable of lunchtime and after school clubs and societies for September 2024 can be found below.
Trips
Throughout their time at Verulam, students have a number of opportunities to participate in enrichment and curriculum based trips both in the UK and abroad. An example of the 2024-25 Trips calendar can be found below followed by further details on specific enrichment trips.
