Extra-Curricular Activities

Enhancing the curriculum.

At Huddersfield Grammar school we know that undertaking extra-curricular activities has far-ranging benefits for a child’s development. Our vast extra-curricular programme provides opportunities for pupils to participate in wider school life and enhance their timetabled curriculum.

The school offers a range of clubs and activities including sports, science, technology, creative, musical and artistic opportunities.

Activities include:

Sports

Our pupils love to engage in a wide range of sports in addition to the timetabled curriculum. Depending on the season, these can include Basketball, Football, Yoga, Gymnastics, Cricket, Netball, Table Tennis and Athletics to name but a few.

Music and Drama

The talents of our young performers are nurtured and showcased throughout the school with a variety of performing arts activities such as a school band, strings group, multiple choirs, LAMDA and productions.

STEM

Opportunities to further explore science, technology, engineering, and Maths are available through clubs such as the F1 Project, UKROC Rocketry Challenge, STEM, Maths Wizards and Computing Club.

School Council and Forums

Being a representative for the pupil voice is a much sought-after position. Leading both school-based and community projects, members have the opportunity to develop their teamwork and communication skills, learn how to effectively share ideas and plan and make decisions.
