Activities

Academic achievement is important to everyone at Old Swinford Hospital although it’s by no means the whole story.
Our reputation for excellence covers everything from sport to the performing arts, whilst also embracing a range of
extra-curricular activities that are the envy of schools many times our size.

There’s never a dull moment, with time generously allocated to activities at the end of lessons every weekday.
In addition, organised weekend activities and school trips take place throughout the year, culminating in Adventure Week immediately before the end of Summer Term.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and the Combined Cadet Force create further opportunities to develop
invaluable life skills and are some of the most popular activities at the school.
