Burgess Hill School for Girls is well known for providing a varied and extensive range of extra curricular activities, trips and opportunities. 

We see our role in extending these opportunities to each individual pupil as crucial to the development of many life skills, as well as adding stimulation and enjoyment beyond the taught curriculum.

We believe education is about giving young people the chance to be successful in as broad a range of areas as possible, and to feel a sense of pride in their achievements.
