Life at the JRCS is about more than just benefiting from well taught lessons. We are committed to providing a wide range of opportunities for our students outside lessons.
The overwhelming majority of students take part in at least one extracurricular opportunity a week ranging from:
- Dance, music, and drama productions
- Sports clubs including fixtures against other schools
- Cultural trips both in Britain and abroad
- Reading and homework clubs
- The Duke of Edinburgh award
Our Out of School Hours (OSHL) activities timetable is constantly evolving to provide students with different learning experiences outside of the classroom (recent additions have been geometric art, ethics, and chess clubs!)
We regularly promote the OSHL timetable and explain to the students the benefits of taking part in wider school initiatives regarding the skills and character they build. We know that students value and enjoy these experiences, and we always want to improve what we offer them.
Consequently, we encourage them to be part of the programme’s ongoing development through student voice where they can provide feedback about clubs, they would wish to take part in that are currently not on offer. If it’s something that is viable, we will aim to deliver it.

PE 100 Club:
Sports and physical activities are very popular in our community. As a result of this the PE department run a well-renowned ‘100 club’ initiative each academic year.
Each student has a ‘100 stamps’ page in their planner. One stamp is given after attending each sports club. Once students reach their 100th stamp they are enrolled in the prestigious ‘100 club’ and receive their much coveted red 100 club red t-shirt which they can wear for their PE lessons (and of course when attending future extracurricular clubs!)
Clubs Fair:
We hold an annual clubs fair whereby students are encouraged to visit stalls about each club alongside teachers. This is a great opportunity for year 7 students and students new to the school to find out more about the wealth of extra-curricular activities available at JRCS.
