Activities & Sports

At MPW, we organise social and physical activities all year round providing our students with a fun and relaxed environment to help them stay healthy, interact with peers who share common interests, enhance leadership skills and prepare for the future.

We believe studies are just part of the student experience; we encourage our students to take part in social events ranging from raising awareness through a charity campaign, joining a debating session or simply stretching their legs and arms at the local climbing centre.

Students who love sport will have plenty of opportunity to meet up with likeminded friends - or make new ones - through a large variety of sports clubs here at MPW.

UCAS Week 2016

Aimed at giving year 12 a head start prior to the busy beginnings of year 13, UCAS Week helps students explore the various options that will be available to them after leaving school. Of course as the name suggests a large part of this is dedicated to university applications and this year was no different with sessions on: how to approach the personal statement; Oxbridge; Art School; and applying to university in the US.

Sport 2015-16: Football

Football is a popular sport at MPW. Training and matches are well-attended and, as many students have spent years playing at their previous schools, the team is a strong one. Last year MPW London won the league in the Autumn Term followed by the CIFE cup in the Spring Term. We are hoping that this year's team will be able to follow in their footsteps; follow their progress on this page with regular updates on matches.

Principal's Lecture: The Work and Role of the House of Lords

Baroness Perry, who entered the House of Lords in 1991 after a very active career in Education, provided MPW students, most them studying Politics for A level, with a very extensive introduction to the Upper House. She was interested in students’ views and, when she touched upon various controversial issues, she encouraged the audience to contribute.
