BSG Clubs & Activities Guide 2023/24

At BSG we are fortunate to have teachers,  support staff and Sixth Form Students who volunteer their time to provide an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. This summary guide shows you the wide provision offered to our students.

Our clubs

We’re proud of our extra-curricular provision with a huge range of clubs and activities that help build knowledge, develop skills and offer opportunities to our students.

Though most of our club and activities provision is free of charge, a few may charge a fee which is normally used to pay for membership of official organisations or for materials. Please enquire with the staff member responsible to find out about this.

Each year we have an Activities Fair in September to advertise the opportunities and allow all our students to sign up where they wish. To access the Activity and Clubs guide for times and days click below:

Duke of Edinburgh

The Duke of Edinburgh Award (DoE) has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. At BSG we offer all of these at their appropriate Year group stage.

You can do a Bronze DofE programme once you are 14. A Bronze DofE programme has four sections: Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition. You must do a minimum of three months activity for each of the Volunteering, Physical and Skills sections, and plan, train for and do a two-day, one-night Expedition. 

The Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award, like the Bronze award is a fun programme, where young people can make friends, improve their self-esteem and build confidence. DofE Silver is for young people aged 15+ years.

The Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award is for young people 16+ who can gain essential skills and attributes for work and life such as resilience, problem-solving, team-working, communication and drive, enhancing CVs for university and job applications.
