Life at Grenville doesn’t stop at the end of each day’s formal lessons…far from it.

In addition to sports matches, which may take place after school or at weekends, around sixty different extra-curricular activities are available to pupils throughout the College, from Junior School to Sixth Form.

Many of the activities utilize the talents of our own staff; others are provided by outside organisations. Virtually every interest is catered for; in addition to mainstream sports, art, technology and music, the remarkable range on offer includes astronomy, electronics, organic gardening, contemporary dance and power yoga.

Pupils can test themselves by taking up the physical challenge of the Ten Tors Expedition and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, for which Grenville College is one of only five independent licensing operating authorities in the South West.

Our proximity to the Torridge estuary and the coast at Westward Ho! enables us to offer a variety of water sports, too, including surfing and kayaking. We are particularly proud of our thriving Rowing Club, by far the strongest school squad in South West England.

Every Grenville pupil is encouraged to participate as fully in these extra-curricular activities as in the daily timetable of academic subjects, sport, drama, art and music.
