Life outside the classroom should be rich and rewarding. School years are an important time for trying out new skills and activities, which can give lifelong pleasure. Hill House offers a very full and vibrant programme of extra-curricular activities, which are additional to those offered as part of the normal school day. Over 100 activities are offered each term, which take place either before school, at lunchtime or after school, most of which are included in the school fees.

A small number of activities have a charge, these include activities such as horse riding, tae kwon do, ballet, tap, cookery, Kixx and RuggerEds.

Please note that whilst most activities are allocated on a random selection process, not first come first served, some activities such as horse riding or tae kwon do, will prioritize pupils who have attended them previously.

Certain activities, such as sports and music, may already have a compulsory list, meaning pupils are pre-allocated to these activities. These will take priority over other choices.

Some smaller clubs, such as cookery, have limited spaces. Not everyone who applies will secure a place. Please check once bookings are allocated to confirm if your child has been successful.

Pupils in Years 3–9 should select at least two activities, while pupils in Years 10 and 11 should select at least one.

The activities brochure for Lent 2026 is now available. Please log in to the Parent Portal to make your booking selections. Requests will be processed on 5 January 2026, and allocated activities will then be visible in My School Portal. Late requests will be handled upon the return to school.

An instructional video is available with this link How to select activities
