Sparking and cultivating interests is incredibly important to us at Lyonsdown School. We provide extensive opportunities for our girls to discover their own personal interests and talents. We offer a range of lunch clubs and after-school activities that vary from term to term (for a complete and up-to-date list of activities, please get in touch with the School Office). Some of our activities are taught by our talented staff and are included in the fees; experts run others brought into school (for which there is an extra charge).

Trips and visits are a regular and exciting part of school life. We offer a range of different, age-appropriate educational trips and outings.

Here is a sample of some taken place in recent years:

Museum of London, RAF Museum, Verulamium, Willows Farm, Hatfield House, Knebworth House, Kensington Palace, The National Gallery, Whitewebbs Transport Museum, Houses of Parliament, Mountfitchet Castle & Toy Museum, British Library, Stevenage Museum, The Royal Opera House, Tate Britain, Paradise Wildlife Park, Roald Dahl Museum, Ninja Warrior Adventure Park, SEA LIFE London Aquarium™, Barnet Fire Station, The Royal Institution, The Lincolsfields Centre, Krishna Temple at Bhaktivedanta Manor.

In addition, there are plenty of opportunities to take trips off-site, recent residential trips include; PGL and Isle of White.

Sport plays a vital part in every Lyonsdown girl's education and physical wellbeing. Our Focus Sports include Netball and Lacrosse in the winter, with Cricket and Athletics taking centre stage in the summer, alongside swimming.

Girls in Years 2, 3, and 4 participate in a two-week intensive swimming program at the local leisure centre, ensuring all pupils develop confidence and skill in the water. Beyond our focus sports, the girls also enjoy Football, Gymnastics, Dance, and Tennis. Tennis coaching is provided by professional coaches from Barnet Lawn Tennis Club, offering expert instruction in a fun and supportive environment.
