Co-CurRicULuM

Tudor Hall’s exciting and wide-ranging co-curricular programme equips students with the skills to support their future success. Our holistic approach harnesses our pupils’ intellectual, physical and creative potential as well as developing their emotional and spiritual awareness. 

A well-balanced combination of academic and co-curricular learning increases willingness to take risks, improves social interaction, develops resilience and enhances leadership skills - everything that will empower Tudor girls to flourish in their future lives. 

The co-curriculum at Tudor is offers both opportunities separate from academic studies as well as those that complement academic studies. For Scholars and those endeavouring to challenge and stretch themselves, the super curriculum is an extension of work done in the classroom. 

Time dedicated to the co-curriculum 

More than 200 activity sessions take place every week. These comprise a wealth of sporting, performing and creative arts opportunities and lots more. The wide range of activities focus on confidence and life-skills such as leadership, entrepreneurship, debating, research, critical thinking, communication, organisation, commitment, timekeeping and resilience. 

While every girl at Tudor has dedicated time for co-curricular activities, the girls in Todds to IVs (Years 7 to 10) have a compulsory co-curricular period each weekday for which they can choose the activities they would like to participate in. 

Real-world readiness 

Valuable leadership and community opportunities include Student Council, Tudor Enterprise, political and debating activities, Tudor Outreach, internships, and work experience – giving girls the chance to engage in real-world scenarios. External engagement includes a programme of high-profile and expert speakers, university links and participation in national competitions. 

Cookery is a popular creative and practical co-curricular activity throughout the school and our fantastic facilities and professional teaching kitchen make cooking a real pleasure.

Todd (Year 7) baking club is where it all begins, with our youngest pupils learning how to use the kitchen safely and following a selection of simple recipes. Pupils in the IIs, IIIs and IVs (Years 8 to 10) also have the option of taking part in a baking club to create a variety of sweet and savoury dishes. 

Hester's Cordon Bleu Cookery Classes are available (extra charge) for pupils in the IIIs – UVI (Years 9 to 13) teaching girls to enjoy s love of healthy food, prepare quick and easy suppers and to experiment with new recipes every week; it is an excellent way to prepare them for cooking independently in the future.

Sixth Form girls can opt to undertake the Leiths - L3 Extended Certificate in Professional Cookery (equivalent to an A Level), assessed by Leiths School of Food and Wine, who visit our kitchen from their London HQ to complete the assessment.
