Many local sports clubs use the excellent facilities and the school also supports the local and wider community by its involvement with primary schools, community service and charity work. Considerable sums of money are raised each year for the Leonard Cheshire Foundation and Children in Need. Other charities supported by the school include Oxfam, Lepra, Rowcroft Hospice and Hearing Dogs for the Deaf.
