Extra Curricular Activities

Newtown School is much more than a 9:00 am to 4:00 pm school. Our students, both day and boarding, are actively encouraged to take part in numerous extra-curricular activities provided on and off site.  A variety of interests are catered for, ranging from Orienteering to Linguistics.

While students have enjoyed many successes in a variety of sports and activities both as team members and in individual events, in line with our Quaker ethos;

We value participation over achievement.
