Extra Curricular Activities

At Almond Hill we believe in the all round development of the children and aim to provide a wide range of activities to encourage this. Many clubs are organised by teachers, parents and through our links with the Sporting Futures Team after school and at lunchtime. Sometimes, clubs are arranged through external providers.

Our clubs include:

Art Football Choir Robotics
Cross Country Rounders Cross Stitch Board Games
Science  ECO Running  Drama
Journalism Maths Stop Frame Animation Gardening

Most after school clubs finish at 4:15pm. A register is taken at the start of each club and children should inform the club teacher if they are going to be absent. For children in school teams, matches are arranged after school.  Details of clubs will be published to parents and children at the start of each term. 

Day outings to places of interest are arranged to support studies in the classroom.

School journey is regarded as an important feature in a child’s development. In Year 6, children are offered the opportunity to go on a residential journey. Currently, Year 6 have the opportunity to stay at Grafham Water for three days of outdoor and adventurous activities.

Music Lessons

For those who wish to take up an instrument to further their learning, lessons are available for which a charge is made. These lessons may include: guitar and violin and RockSteady. All music lessons at Almond Hill combine learning with enjoyment. Music features regularly in weekly assembly, and special music concerts which are held to celebrate the children’s achievements.  Parents pay for music lessons unless they are exempt (see remissions) and are expected to make a commitment of at least a year’s tuition.
