How do I tell if out-of class activities at the school are any good?
A lot of schools will say that they have an enormous range of extracurricular activities, and you will get their prospectives and they'll list forty or fifty after school clubs. But how often do they run, how many people do them, and how hard are they to get into? Those are things you will only find out when you go around the school. You will have particular ones you care about, just make sure you ask about them. Look for them on the notice boards, look for them to appear in the school magazines being celebrated for what's being achieved.As you go around the school, you'll be shown around by children or have some access to children. Ask them what happens in a particular area. Is there a club you go to? Is there someone here who knows about it? Just enquire the people, and that way you will get a feeling for how good a particular extracurricular activity is. Some of them can be really very dull, boring and uninspiring, things that just exist on paper, and you can't tell from paper whether it's that or whether it's the most wonderful thing in the world.
