Extra Curricular, Clubs & Activities

Harpenden Academy places great emphasis on extending the curriculum beyond the classroom.  

We offer an extensive range of school activities and lunch time clubs.  These range from Chess to Yoga, from Violin to Speed Stacking.

A number of these activities are provided by outside providers and carry a moderate charge.

How to book your child on to a club:

Our co-curricular clubs are currently on hold due to restrictions of COVID19. We aim to get them back up and running after the October half term and at this time we will communicate with parents how to book your child on to a club. We are awaiting guidance from the Department for Education.
