At Haltwhistle Academy, we are passionate about providing a rich and exciting range of experiences that help children develop their talents, explore new interests, and grow in confidence. Our extra-curricular programme plays an important role in this, offering opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom.

A Varied Offer Every Half Term

To keep our club offer fresh, engaging, and tailored to children’s interests, the programme changes every half term. Pupils are invited to share which clubs they would like to take part in, and the whole school votes on their favourite options. This ensures our provision reflects what children are genuinely enthusiastic about.

Clubs Led by Staff and Specialist Coaches

A diverse mix of after-school clubs is delivered by our dedicated staff team and visiting specialist coaches. Whether children enjoy sports, arts, music, STEM, or something entirely new, there is always something exciting to choose from.

• After-school clubs run from 3:30pm–4:30pm.
• A booking form for all clubs is shared with parents and carers at the beginning of each half term.
• To book Breakfast Club or After-School Care Provision, please use the Arbor app.
