At Hobart we believe that education does not stop within lessons. We are very proud of our strong tradition of enrichment and extra-curricular events that take place. The activities offered enhance our school curriculum, giving students further opportunities to learn new skills or knowledge, and broaden their experience. You can find the latest timetables for extra curricular opportunities above, including for PE.
We run a wide range of clubs and activities at lunchtime and after school. This includes sports clubs, Science club, Art, Music groups, reading, ICT, Games Club, Library and lots more.
In addition students have the opportunity to take part in ‘drop down’ days where they take part in specific activities, or work with external speakers. Examples include, science lectures careers talks and working with published authors.
Hobart has many successful sports teams. Regular training for these takes place at lunchtime or after school. Fixtures regularly take place against other Norfolk High Schools. Students in Years 10 and 11 have the opportunity to take part in supporting younger students with competitions, and they regularly support PE activities too.
Large numbers of students take up the offer of instrumental lessons and many are members of music groups and bands which rehearse during lunchtimes. Every year large numbers of students are involved in Music concerts, where they have the opportunity to enhance their performance skills and confidence in front of a large public audience.
A school production has become an established annual event which involves students with a flair for the arts. In recent years this has included the productions "Matilda" and "Beauty and the Beast", with "Shrek the Musical" set for February 2025.
A large number of trips run each year to support the learning that takes place in lessons. Recent and planned trips include:
- Residential trips to France
- A visit to the World War One Battlefields for History.
- Duke of Edinburgh expeditions
- Geography field trips for Year 11
- GCSE Drama trip to the theatre
- Art trips, including to the coast and the Sainsbury Centre.
- Science trips to various museums.
- A trip to Iceland as part of Geography.
And more!
Revision activities and exam preparation are a cornerstone of the support and intervention that students receive after school in the build up to GCSE exams. Students are regularly seen engaged in a range of learning activities well beyond the end of the school bell.
