Extra-curricular opportunities

Our curriculum is enhanced by providing extra-curricular opportunities for all and specific further opportunities for those children who will most benefit from these.

Opportunities for all include free-play during playtimes with our adventure play equipment, climbing traverse wall, exploration and adventure area, playtime toys and games and structured activities. We also make the most of our fabulous school grounds, working recently with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust and continuing to nurture our school pond and garden as thriving spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Over 90 pupils also access peripatetic music lessons in the following instruments: violin, cello, piano, flute, drums, guitar, brass. Please speak to the school office for more information on how to sign up your child: office@hap-edu.uk  

Clubs and Activities

We are proud to offer a range of high-quality clubs to children at Hillside. Children are invited to join clubs which are open to their year group. We try to offer spaces to as many children as we can, but if there is more demand we also look to provide additional clubs through the year as opportunities arise.

Some of our sporting clubs give opportunities to represent the school as part or the school team. Examples of these sports include football and cricket. We run very successful sports teams and have a proud record over the years.
