Upton Hall offers a rich diet of extra-curricular activities designed to suit a whole range of interests.  On alternate weeks students attend an enrichment class as part of the Sixth Form curriculum. Students are also encouraged to take part in voluntary work in the community.  We also welcome guest speakers from a range of backgrounds for our weekly industry/career speaker programme.
