Clubs and Creativity

Creative development remains essential for everyone—from those who connect their future with the arts to aspiring researchers and scientists.

The role of clubs at Buckswood School

Every day after lessons, an hour is dedicated to club activities, giving students time to immerse themselves in what genuinely interests them. The roster includes foundational options like sports, debate, and charity clubs—all particularly valuable when applying to top British universities. There are also academic circles covering mathematics, science, medicine, and computer technology. Language clubs span both modern and classical options, including sign language. Buckswood School also hosts more intimate communities: crafts, cooking, sushi making, web design, investment clubs, horse care, vocals, and dozens of others that can expand based on student requests.

Theatre life begins in the youngest years and continues with energy throughout. Learning theory while building practical skills helps not just on stage but in everyday situations—whether finding creative solutions or connecting with people. The most compelling opportunity comes through LAMDA exams and educational trips to London, including performance tours.
