Medbury has a wide range of extra curricular activities. Read more in the brochure here.
On the sports field
Sport is an integral part of Medbury life and boys are encouraged to play sport at a level where they compete and enjoy. We recognise that promoting teamwork and good sportsmanship are important aspects of playing sport, and reflect the school ethos of 'Play the Game'.
Medbury has a fine sporting reputation. Boys often gain recognition, both regionally and nationally, in a wide variety of sports. Competition is actively encouraged which allows the boys to learn the values of humility, fairness, loyalty and honesty through experiences of both winning and losing.
Medbury has extensive sporting facilities, with a modern gymnasium, cricket nets, basketball courts, climbing wall, heated swimming pool, two cricket pitches, three astro turf courts for tennis and hockey, a rugby field and a mini soccer field.

The Arts at Medbury School
Music
Medbury School has an excellent reputation for its music programme, both choral and instrumental, and receives strong support from the school community. The annual 'Music Evening' is a highlight of the school year, showcasing Medbury's promising music talent.
Medbury's well-qualified Music Director and other specialist music teachers ensure that every boy has the best opportunities to experience music. Instrumental tuition is available from Year 4, and may include younger boys at the discretion of the Music Director and Class Teacher.
The purpose built music facilities in The Medbury Centre are superb. Medbury's three choirs perform regularly at local and international music festivals, and lead the school at its church services. The Medbury Orchestra plays at both school and community events, whilst the Quartet, Chamber Ensembles, together with the Concert Band, Rock Bands and Jazz Band, are all popular with the boys and tutored by skilled musicians.

"Inspiration exists but it has to find us working" - Pablo Picasso
At Medbury, boys in all year levels receive Art tuition and are encouraged to develop their individual creativity. Our art programme is run by a specialist Art Teacher in the Art Studio, enabling the boys to enjoy a variety of artistic styles and genre.
The boys have an opportunity to explore many facets of art including painting, drawing, clay modelling and sculpture, print making, fibre and fabric, collage, design and graphics.
Medbury boys' work features around the school, in art exhibitions and competitions held in the city and further afield.
Drama
Medbury has an outstanding reputation for drama. Under the direction of the Head of Drama, all boys have the opportunity to explore and use their creativity, through imaginative play, creative movement and dramatic performance.
Class performances are regular events. The Senior School Musical Production is held biannually, allowing boys to learn and experience the excitement of performance in music and drama.
