BEYOND THE CURRICULUM
MUSIC
Music is truly at the heart of CCCS. Whatever the time of day, as you walk around the school you can hear pupils playing from all directions. We are a school in which it is normal to sing and to play, whether solo or as part of one of our choirs or ensembles. All are encouraged and celebrated, whether they are beginners or have already completed their Grade Eight. Visit our dedicated Music pages to find out more.
ENRICHMENT
Each week in the Prep School ends with Enrichment. Boys select from a variety of activities drawing on varied interests of our teachers, including Photography, Philosophy, Woodland School, Squash, Archery and the School Magazine. We also have a range of popular after-school clubs. Visit our Enrichment page to find out more.
DRAMA
Drama appears in a range of curriculum subjects and through dedicated lessons each week. All boys in the Pre-Prep and Years 3 and 4 perform in musical productions; the small size of the casts mean that everyone can have a significant part if they want one. Once they reach Form 5, there are two theatrical productions to take part in each year. We also have several other Drama events each year, including poetry recitation, the Year Eight French Play and LAMDA. Visit our Drama Page to find out more.
TRIPS AND TOURS
A huge advantage of our city-centre location is easy access to Oxford's many museums and sites. Our pupils can expect to leave the classroom to enhance their learning regularly, whether for a short visit to an Oxford museum, for a day trip further afield or on one of our popular language trips to France. All Prep School boys take part in matches most weeks and all three of our choirs participate in tours nationally or (especially for the Cathedral Choir) internationally. Visit our Trips and Tours page to find out more.
To arrange a tour of our school and meet with our Headmaster, please contact our Registrar, Lisa Johnson, on +44 (0)1865 242561 or by email.
