Features

Things to note

  • Participating in extra-curricular sporting activities helps develop self-esteem, confidence and teamwork skills, which is why students are encouraged to get involved – regardless of ability. They also offer an Elite Pathway for students competing at representative level and regularly take part in prestigious local, regional and national competitions in a variety of sports.
  • The extra-curricular Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) provision enhances regular programme of learning and is designed to be an enjoyable and powerful way of engaging students with STEM subjects.
  • Spending time in the natural environment brings huge benefits and each cohort will have several opportunities for residential trips throughout their MHSG life. For children in Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14), this includes trips to the Lake District whilst older students have the chance to participate in a Lowland Leader’s qualification which enables girls to lead groups on day walks in the countryside and woodland areas.
  • Many departments offer trips that enhance the curriculum and provide experiential learning opportunities. These trips also help to develop a broader understanding of the world and offer different cultural experiences whilst being great fun!
  • A range of performing opportunities take place throughout the year, including a Cabaret evening, lower school drama showcase, Drama Club productions, a Year 8 Drama interform competition, Sixth Form Play-in-a-Week and Senior and Junior Performing Arts evenings. 
  • With styles ranging from contemporary, jazz, musical theatre, hip-hop, street dance, ballet and Bollywood, there are plenty of opportunities for students to dance! Every year group has its own Dance club in the beautiful mirrored dance studio and the chance to audition for Junior and Senior Dance companies each autumn.
  • Each week, more than 300 individual instrumental and singing lessons take place in the Department, and a large number of students also participate in extra-curricular music provision with opportunities for students of all ages and abilities.
