At Alderley Edge School for Girls, our Senior School clubs programme is designed to inspire ambition, nurture individuality, and empower every girl to thrive beyond the classroom. With a diverse range of activities running at lunchtime and after school, pupils enjoy a rich and rewarding co-curricular experience that reflects our core values: Bright, Balanced, and Bold.

Whether it’s leading a debate, launching a business idea, performing on stage, or exploring new technologies, our clubs offer every girl the opportunity to discover her strengths, develop new skills, and connect with others who share her passions.

From creative arts to STEM, sport to service, our programme encourages girls to be curious, courageous, and confident, ready to shape their world with purpose and positivity.
