Kennet’s life beyond the classroom offers an impressive 150 co-curricular activities, ensuring every pupil finds something which ignites their passion. While sports are a significant interest for many, our school has a vast range of other pursuits to cater to diverse interests. For some, it is the excitement and comradeship of the Cadet Force (CCF) and the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE); for others, it is the cerebral challenges of chess or the thrill of starring in our annual school musical. 

Kennet School also offers extensive opportunities in the creative arts or intellectual pursuits. Budding politicians and journalists are well served by the myriads of public speaking and writing opportunities to hone their rhetorical art. There is an amazing range of musical and choral ensembles and a host of varied Art and Design & Technology activities. 

In addition, House events are at the heart of the Kennet School House competition, offering pupils the chance to participate in a whole host of events from Boccia to Maths, Darts to Performing Arts, fostering a sense of community and school spirit.

We aim to encourage pupils to engage in confidence and character-building activities which enhance their development inside and outside the classroom. There is no financial barrier to participation; all activities are accessible to pupils in financial need at no charge (except for a few where we operate a co-pay model).

Kennet School’s commitment to a broad and inclusive co-curricular programme ensures every pupil can grow, learn, and excel beyond the classroom.
