Thorpe St Andrew School and Sixth Form is very proud of the range of clubs and extra-curricular activities that take place here. There are many different activities, some organised on a weekly basis and others for a number of sessions over a specific time period. At the beginning of each school year, departments and staff will review the opportunities they can offer and start to publicise them during Form Time and on departmental notice boards.
