Excellent facilities at Nonsuch support a high quality of teaching and learning across the curriculum. New entrants quickly settle and enjoy extra-curricular societies including Astronomy, Dance, Drama, and many sports. The school has superb PE facilities. Private access to the David Lloyd Leisure Centre swimming-pool supplements our all-weather pitch, courts and fields. With an enthusiasm for music, Nonsuch provides opportunities to take part in many choirs, orchestras and chamber groups as well as the wind band.
We value the student voice. Sixth formers are represented by their own Association and play an invaluable part - in a number of roles - in wider school life. Students in the main school contribute, through the School Council, to the development of the school. Nonsuch is a vibrant community where learning is fun and achievements are celebrated.
