Outside the classroom
At Westminster City School, we offer a vast array of extra-curricular activities to help our young people boost their knowledge, learn new skills, make new friends and have fun.
Our extensive range of extra-curricular activities take place during lunch, as well as before- and after-school.
Performing arts
Performing arts is an area in which our School is extremely successful, with activities offered in music, art and drama. Performance opportunities include concerts throughout the year that feature our School Choir and numerous musical ensembles, like our School Orchestra, School Wind Band and School Jazz Band. Many of our young people also take part in external projects with outside organisations.
Sports and outdoor pursuits
Westminster City School students like to keep active, and our School has a strong sporting tradition with activities run across different sports at all levels.
We also have a flourishing Army Cadet Unit through which a number of our students take part in camps and outdoor activities. In addition, many of our young people are currently undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.

School trips
Our full programme of educational trips and visits ensures our young people further enhance their knowledge and understanding of our curriculum.
Our central London location means trips can range from "local" visits to the many museums, galleries, theatres and parks to be found in London, as well as to places further afield that are also of historical, geographical, literary, religious or scientific interest.
Alongside a number of excursions at home and abroad, our School has run a Japanese exchange programme for over 20 years. This provides a life-changing opportunity for our students as they experience a completely different culture, staying with their host family in Tokyo.
Westminster City School is rigorous in maintaining its inclusive ethos and no student is denied participation on trips because of financial hardship.
