Extracurricular activities include anime and manga clubs and additional girls' football opportunities. Members of the school parliament have helped make changes including altering lunchtime menu options and securing additional equipment for pupils. Ofsted also highlighted the school's efforts to challenge stereotypes through pupils' personal development, including teaching around beliefs that girls should not play football.
