WYMONDHAM COLLEGE
EXTRA CURRICULAR
WYMONDHAM LIFE
Wymondham Life incorporates a full and diverse programme of activities to give opportunities that meet the interests of our young people. Wymondham Life is always evolving dependent on student interests of your young people. Wymondham Life is always evolving dependent on student interests ranging from weekend trips to the beach, London dungeons, winter wonderland to a general shop at the supermarket or clothes shopping in Norwich. Also available throughout the week the College offers general sporting activities all the way to more extreme activities such as kayaking, horse riding and high altitude (trampoline world). We aim to offer alternative interests such as cooking for fun, quiz nights, minecraft, yoga, movie nights and much more.
Wymondham Life is constantly changing throughout the year and many more opportunities arise. In order to ensure that you fully understand how to sign up for activities and not miss out on a single thing all information will be sent to parents/carers by email. These emails will give full detail of timings, activities and information around external visits. Wymondham Life wants to give students the opportunities that they would normally have when at home.
