ACTIVITIES Click here for the full programme of activities Pupils are able to choose from 53 clubs and societies, from climbing, rowing and orienteering, to wargames, debating and chess. Many of our departments also run clubs for pupils who would like to pursue an academic interest; the chemistry club and the internet club are examples. The school has easy access to the Dales and the Lake District, which provide the ideal environment for outdoor activities such as fell walking, climbing, abseiling, mountain biking, sailing, the CCF and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. Outdoor activities extend well beyond the local region. Ski parties visit Alpine resorts; mountaineering expeditions tackle the Scottish Highlands in winter and summer conditions; there is an annual watersports trip to the Ardeche gorge; and for year 7 pupils (age 11), there is a wonderful residential weekend each September at an outdoor centre in Shropshire. Outdoor activities are run by committed and experienced teachers. Some activities take place on Wednesday afternoons; others are organised at weekends and during holidays. Many outdoor activities bring together pupils of different ages and create an environment in which informal relationships between staff and pupils flourish.

At Bradford Grammar School, we value sport and our clubs and societies very highly. So much so that we have lessons for 4½ days a week, leaving half a day available for the school's clubs to use. 
Bradford Grammar School offers an exciting programme of outdoor activities for pupils of all ages, interests and abilities. Outdoor activities are important in broadening the experience of young people. They provide challenge and competition; and promote teamwork, skill, athleticism and a sense of personal achievement.
