Extra Curricular Programme
Personal Development and extra-curricular is central to our culture of strong relationships between staff and students.
At Queen’s Park High School, we offer an extensive extra-curricular programme designed to enrich students’ experience by providing the opportunity for them to make new friends, find new interests and develop new and existing skills.
We offer a wide range of activities many of which feature within our Personal Development Programme (PDP) and after school. These are reviewed and updated each term to make our provision as diverse and inclusive as possible.
We encourage all our staff to actively engage in extra-curricular and enrichment. We believe memories made during these experiences last a life time.
