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 Tech Club to Multisports, from Piano to Awesome Engineers.
A number of these activities are provided by outside providers and carry a moderate charge.
How to book your child on to a club:
Spring Term 2026 Contractor Clubs
Spring Term 2026 Teacher Clubs
All clubs will start on the second week we return to school after Christmas, on w/c Monday 12th January 2026 and finish on w/c 16th March 2026 (unless otherwise stated by club).
Contractor Clubs
Please contact the club provider to book your place, it will be on a first come first served basis. The Club Provider is responsible for all communication and confirmation of external clubs. Please see flyers below for further details. You can contact the club contractors to book your child on to their clubs with immediate effect.
Teacher Clubs
All parents will be able to book their child on to teacher led clubs from Thursday, 27th November 2025 from 5.00pm. You will be able to login to your child's MCAS profile and select the club option from the menu. At 5.00pm you will be able to enrol your child onto their chosen club. If the club is full the system will add your child to the waiting list and the office will inform you if there are any cancellations. We will always do our best to try and accommodate your child’s choices.
Please do not rely on these school clubs as childcare, it is dependent on teacher commitments and we may need to cancel them at short notice.
