Extended Curriculum
An all round education
At Adcote we not only believe in maximising each girl’s academic ability, we also provide a wide range of responsibilities and activities that allow pupils to experience competition, compassion and leadership that will equip them for the challenges in life that lie ahead. An independent academic curriculum is complemented by a whole range of enjoyable activities designed to stimulate young minds and provide girls with an all-round education.
Sport is regarded as very important and girls have the opportunity to enjoy netball, athletics, archery, golf, badminton, rowing and judo with excellent tuition available for horse riding, tennis and swimming. The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme is also strongly supported. Adcote is now one of the leading schools for gymnastics in the region. Music, dance and drama provide fun and excitement as well as challenging the girls’ imagination. The school also has an outstanding choir.
There are voluntary workshops in drama and contemporary dance and pupils have the opportunity to take part in two major productions each year. Regular visits to theatres and concert halls in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Stratford-upon-Avon as well as other local venues allow girls to experience the pleasure of watching live performances.
