Life at Kennet School is about more than examinations and qualifications. We expect all our pupils to take a full and active role in all aspects of school life. We endeavour to support all pupils to develop the skills and confidence needed to challenge themselves and make the most of what is on offer.

To supplement and extend the experience received in the formal curriculum, we place great emphasis on the importance of school clubs and co-curricular activities. Run by subject teachers, Sixth Formers or external specialists, some are seasonal, some short duration, others are permanent. The range of activities is vast. Here are just a few of the activities our pupils can take part in:
