We launched our exciting new After School Activities programme for 2026–27 back in July, and bookings officially opened on SchoolBase yesterday.
There is a huge range of activities on offer this year, with something for everyone. Alongside popular favourites, we have an enhanced focus on Netball and Football, with dedicated match opportunities and fixtures planned for pupils who take part.
There is plenty more to choose from too, including The School Production, Jujutsu, FootGolf, Elevate Rugby sessions, Bebras, Coding, Music Tech and our new Korean Language Club, to name just a few.
Activities begin in the first full week of term, from Monday 7 September, so now is the perfect time to look through the programme and plan ahead.
Head to SchoolBase to explore the full programme and book your child's places. With so much on offer, we can't wait to see our pupils getting stuck in.

The Great Outdoors is a Classroom Too
The summer holidays are a great opportunity to slow down a little. Not every day needs to be filled with activities, plans and places to be.
Sometimes, giving children the freedom to head outside, explore and work out what to do for themselves can be just as valuable.
Give children space outdoors and they will naturally explore, investigate, create, take risks, solve problems and work things out. A stick becomes a fishing rod, a fallen branch becomes part of a den and a patch of woodland becomes an entire world to explore.
This is one of the reasons outdoor learning is such an important part of life at Heathfield Knoll. Our HK Outdoor Learning Awards, running from Reception through to Year 4, encourage pupils to explore our wonderful grounds, develop practical skills and build confidence, resilience and perseverance along the way.
So, as the summer holidays begin to wind down, don't worry too much about filling every minute.
Sometimes, all children really need is a little space.
And they might just be about to learn something
