Cornwall Hill College offers a vibrant and diverse cultural programme. There are a wealth of opportunities for pupils to become involved in the vibrant co-curricular programme which caters for all pupils in a relevant and contemporary manner. We encourage participation and pupils are continually challenged to expand and grow. We strongly believe that involvement in Cultural Activities is essential to the development of creative thinking and self-growth.
