A Truly Personalised Enrichment Programme

At The Highcrest Academy we believe a rich extra-curricular programme enhances learning and helps our students to gain confidence and skills in diverse areas.  We offer over a hundred before-school, lunchtime and after-school clubs and activities, and also a wide variety of educational journeys which help to support academic and personal learning.

We believe that no matter how many clubs and trips that we offer that it is important that every child has the opportunity to participate. Our aim is to ensure that every student not only participates in our extracurricular program, but more importantly, participates in the enrichment activities that they personally require to close any gaps they may have in their life experiences.

Clubs 2024/2025

"Clubs and activities outside of school time are popular. School productions and plays attract many willing pupils, as do after-school clubs". Ofsted, February 2020

You will notice from the charts below that our Sports Hall, Dance Studio, Technology rooms, Performing Arts studio , ICT and classroom facilities are used extensively throughout the week to support our extracurricular offer. We believe in making the most of every minute of the school day!

PE Clubs 2024/2025

Sports fixtures, clubs and trips form a big part of our PE offer here at Highcrest. It is important to us that we offer a comprehensive extra-curricular programme where students have the opportunity to further explore activities, and should they wish to, enjoy the competition element amongst other schools in the District. 

PE staff at Highcrest believe that sport plays a significant part in the development of the child and are committed to enhancing physical confidence, promoting life skills and enjoyment and supporting healthy futures through sport and physical activity.
