Dane Court Grammar School

The school has a variety of extra-curricular activities available to students, from rock climbing to trampolining. The music department has a number of bands that rehearse and play regularly and the physical education department runs teams in all the major sports, with great success at district, county and national level. There are also after-school activities including theatre trips, play rehearsals, film-making and clubs running in many subjects, such as science, maths, languages, technology and ICT.

The school also organises extra-curricular activities through the house system, organised and led by sixth formers who are elected each year as house captains and games captains. These students organise a series of competitions, both big and small, to engage students in years 7 to 11, such as house drama and music competitions, quizzes and even a house tug of war competition. The house system provides an excellent opportunity for younger students to become involved in activities that are both fun and sometimes challenging, whilst learning to work with others, compete and take risks. The house system also provides a superb opportunity for older students to develop their leadership and organisational skills, whilst acting as positive role models for younger students. Younger students also have the opportunity to take positions of responsibility within their house. See the school website for further information (direct link in 'Useful Links' below).
