At Huddersfield Grammar school we know that undertaking co-curricular activities has far-ranging benefits for a child’s development. Our vast co-curricular programme provides opportunities for pupils to participate in wider school life and enhance their timetabled curriculum.
The school offers a range of clubs and activities including sports, science, technology, creative, musical and artistic opportunities.

Our pupils love to engage in a wide range of sports in addition to the timetabled curriculum. Depending on the season, these can include Basketball, Football, Yoga, Gymnastics, Cricket, Netball, Table Tennis and Athletics to name but a few.
The talents of our young performers are nurtured and showcased throughout the school with a variety of performing arts activities such as a school band, strings group, multiple choirs, LAMDA and productions.
Opportunities to further explore science, technology, engineering, and Maths are available through clubs such as the F1 Project, UKROC Rocketry Challenge, STEM, Maths Wizards and Computing Club.
Being a representative for the pupil voice is a much sought-after position. Leading both school-based and community projects, members have the opportunity to develop their teamwork and communication skills, learn how to effectively share ideas and plan and make decisions.

IGNITE takes place on Wednesday afternoons and involves students from Year 7 - 11.
It is a chance for our pupils to customise a lesson a week in their timetable to suit their interests by choosing from a plethora of activities.
We believe our programme ignites passion, hearts and minds and reflects wider society and life beyond the classroom.
