Clubs

At Highfields Primary Academy, we believe learning doesn’t stop when the lesson ends. Our clubs give children the chance to explore new interests, develop skills, build friendships and have fun in a relaxed, supportive environment. They are a big part of school life and help children grow in confidence, independence and teamwork.

Best of all – every club we offer is completely free.

Breakfast Club

Our Breakfast Club offers children a happy, calm start to the day from 8:00 am each morning.

Children can enjoy:

  • A nutritious breakfast to help them feel ready to learn
  • Time to socialise with friends in a relaxed setting
  • Activities to ease them into the school day

Breakfast Club supports wellbeing, attendance and positive routines – and it’s a lovely way to start the morning.

Free Clubs for Every Child

We believe every child should have the chance to take part in enrichment activities, whatever their interests or background. That’s why all of our clubs are free of charge.

By offering clubs at no cost, we:

  • Make sure everyone can join in
  • Encourage children to try new things
  • Support families
  • Create a strong sense of inclusion and belonging

Our aim is simple: no child misses out.

Why Clubs Matter

Our clubs help children:

  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Make friendships and feel part of the school community
  • Stay active and healthy
  • Develop creativity and curiosity
  • Enjoy coming to school

We’re always proud to see children getting involved, trying something new and having fun.
