Physical Education

Sport is an integral part of life at all levels of the school. We pride ourselves on the fact that there should be something for everyone, from team players aiming for excellence to clubs which play the odd fixture to recreational activities such as climbing. We believe in a philosophy of Sport for All and enjoyment plays a large part in this too. Within the curriculum we try to give girls a progressive programme which unfolds each year to give new challenges and different sports to try.

Art

Personal expression and maximising creativity is the focus of City’s Art Department. Students are encouraged to explore new ideas and new materials and to utilise neighbouring galleries and museums for inspiration. Students incorporate traditional methods with avant-garde techniques to express themselves through various mediums including drawing, painting, sculpting, textile work, mixed media and photography. We are proud to display our students work around the school, making a colourful and inspirational backdrop to everyday life at City. The girls’ artwork is of such a standard that is has also been on display at the Barbican Arts Centre.  

Drama

This is an extremely popular arts subject, which can be great fun. This is not to say that it is a soft option as self-discipline and organisational skills are essential in what is a mainly practical subject. London is arguably the theatre capital of the world and it is our intention to make every use of it.

Music
With the school situated opposite the Barbican Centre and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, music is always in the air at City of London School for Girls where we have a large and vibrant music department. Girls can learn from a wide range of instruments as an extra curricular activity and there are many opportunities for performing in the Orchestra, Choir, String Orchestra, Gospel Choir, Recorder Group, Windband, or one of numerous ensembles.
