Extra-Curricular Clubs

Sport
National has a rich sporting tradition, and encouraging students to participate can support development of leadership skills, health, socialising and communication. Students have the opportunity to try sports such as football, basketball, netball, hockey, athletics, trampolining, gymnastics and rugby. There is a culture of inclusion across all sports and the academy enjoys great success in team sports and individual disciplines.

Music

Within music, there are extra-curricular activities ranging from Music tech club to School choir, providing the opportunity for students to perform in our Christmas and summer concerts. Recently our Choir collaborated with the National Youth Choir, culminating in a concert at the Royal Concert Hall. Another highlight of the National calendar is the annual drama production which provides many students with the platform to showcase their expressive talents. This years production is 'Back to the 80s' featuring a range of students from all year groups.

Plus much more…

Other opportunities linked to the curriculum help to further students’ understanding and development in subject areas. There are a wide range of subject specific clubs, including examples such as philosophy club, book club and change makers. There are also a variety of competitions in subjects such as design technology for students to get involved in. Educational visits take place throughout the year linked to subjects, including visits to Germany, World War One Battlefields and London in recent years.
