Extra Curricular Activities
Studying hard is the main reason for taking Post 16 courses within the Federation, but we recognise that students make better progress if they can participate in, and benefit from, a wide range of extra curricular activities. Within the Federation we provide a much wider variety of activities for students to engage in, including the following:
