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 have included:

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. 

The staff at Almond Hill provide a wide range of extra curricular clubs that run at either lunchtime or after school.  All of our clubs are organised by teachers and teaching assistants. We try to organise clubs in response to the children's interests resulting in a wide variety ranging from early morning sport to a home learning club.

If you are interested in organising a club, please contact the school office. Running a school club is subject to DBS clearance and suitable qualifications. 

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 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.

School Choir (Year 4 - 6)

The school choir is run by Mrs Cleaves and is made up of year 4 - 6 children. We rehearse once a week but often have extra rehearsals when we've got a special concert coming up. We have previously been invited to perform at several concerts within the Stevenage Community. We even have our own special Choir uniform.
