Extra Curricular Programme
We offer a rich and varied range of extra-curricular clubs and enrichment activities for students in all years.
Clubs are very popular amongst students, and they form an important part of day-to-day life at the Academy. Clubs and enrichment activities provide a valuable opportunity for students to engage in wider Academy life, to make new friends and to discover and develop new skills.
Clubs and activities run during lunchtime or after school. You should see the member of staff leading the club to join and to obtain a lunch-pass.
Here is a list of the extra-curricular clubs available:
