Sports and Extra Curricular
Sports and extra-curricular activities form an important part of a well-rounded education. The John Bentley School is pleased to operate a wide-ranging programme of sports and clubs to give pupils the opportunity to develop their specific areas of interests beyond the standard curriculum.
The list of clubs is extensive and incorporates subjects which are both academically based such as physics, languages and maths, plus a diverse range of more vocational topics such as fashion, media and the arts.
Sports are equally well represented with badminton, football, netball and rugby clubs all thriving among others.
