The College offers a wide range of cultural, sporting, physical, creative, service and recreational activities, which take place on weekday afternoons, evenings and at weekends. These form an important part of the overall educational experience, and students are encouraged to take part, choosing from over 60 regular activities.

There is also an internal social programme of events as well as trips to places of historical and cultural interest e.g. theatres and museums in Oxford, London and elsewhere for which there may be a small charge. The Activities Department also organises weekend or longer trips e.g. to Wales, Peru, Barcelona, Europe, Prague, Krakow, Italy, Dublin, Northern Ireland and Paris. We also run outdoor activity trips e.g. to France, Italy and Austria. There is a programme of outdoor education weekend trips such as horse riding, caving, rock climbing and hillwalking.

As an international college, we engage in a wide range of activities which we hope will foster increasing international understanding among our students. These include a series of International Study visits and an 'International Affairs' lecture and discussion programme.
