n Junior School pupils enjoyed an enormous variety of clubs and ensembles this year, with options spanning creative, sporting, cerebral, and musical. Junior School pupils experienced an extraordinary range of clubs and ensembles this year, encompassing creative, sporting, intellectual, and musical activities. These clubs offer boys the opportunity to enjoy their existing passions and hobbies while discovering new ones, making them a highlight of the school day for many. This year’s programme introduced exciting new clubs like Skateboarding and Dice Games, alongside the return of much-loved favourites such as Historical Battles, Quidditch, Knitting, Lego, and Hockey. It has been fantastic to see Junior School pupils participate in Senior School societies and welcome older pupils into our clubs for support and inspiration. Many pupils have achieved remarkable success through their club activities. Highlights include the Junior School Orchestra’s performance at the Foundation Concert, the Percussion Club forming the Founder’s Day Samba Band, and the Hockey Club excelling in tournaments and fixtures. The Velodrome Club competed as the youngest team at the Inter-School Cycling Championships at Herne Hill Velodrome, and many pupils learnt some impressive new language skills in Latin, German and Chinese Clubs. Here are a few highlights in the boys’ own words: “I was really proud to receive my yellow Taekwondo belt this year,” Ethan. CLUBS
