Activities

At Ampleforth our tradition emphasises the importance of achieving the right balance between prayer, study and recreation.  We provide extensive opportunities for the broadest possible range of co-curricular activities.

Our first class facilities are backed up by expert staff who ensure that the students get the most out of them.  Our various activities are categorised in line with our Benedictine ethos – service, cognitive, personal, cultural, physical and spiritual.  See below a full list of activities on offer to students throughout the year:
