Enrichment Programme

Our enrichment programme enables students to benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular and leisure activities, outside of their academic programme.

This list is by no means exhaustive and students can make recommendations to the Student Council if they wish to establish a new club or activity.

Music Club

Through our collaboration with partner organisations such as the London School of Contemporary Piano, students are able to have individual tuition in playing a musical instrument, musical composition and singing.

Film & Photography Club

The Film Club offers students the opportunity to watch films across many different genres and languages, and to engage in making short films and animations with the help of our Media Department. Students keen on improving their photography techniques are also able to participate in our highly successful Street Photography sessions, led by a variety of professionals including Eric Kim.

College Magazine

The production of the student magazine 'Faraday' is overseen by the student council, and students are encouraged to contribute articles, photos, puzzles and of course jokes, each year.

Student Council

Each year the student body elects representatives from across the year groups at the college to voice their opinions on a wide range of issues. The student council also organises events and parties throughout the year including the highly popular Summer Ball. The reps run the common room tuck shop with all profits going to the charity of their choice.

Cultural Trip

The college has an week-long Cultural Trip in the Spring term each year to a European destination. This is mainly for Year 12 students and they are accompanied by a group of teaching staff. Activities planned for the week include bike tours, hikes, pizza and gelato making (Italy), tango lessons (Spain), boat cruise (Istanbul), visits to historical sites and leisure activities.

Team Maths Challenge

The Team Maths Challenge (TMC) is a competition which gives pupils the opportunity to tackle a variety of engaging mathematical activities whilst developing teamwork and communication skills. Every year Albemarle enters one or more teams chosen from the College's best mathematicians.

Debating Club

The Debating Club holds regular debates for students to hone their debating skills on a wide range of topics particularly relevant to young people, and also develop confidence in public speaking. The college also hosts an annual debating competition, with prizes awarded for the best speakers. Visits to PMQs in the House of Commons are also arranged for club members. The club is managed by our Head of Politics, Sana Rasoul.
