After School Activities

After school activities take place every day! Students are welcome to turn up to whichever club they wish to (with the exception of those that are stated 'Invite Only' or selected groups such as Music or performance rehearsals).

Where a scheduled club is not due to run, we aim to get messages out via notices delivered during tutor time, and on social media & the website. If a club does have to be cancelled at short notice (e.g. due to staff illness), we will direct any students staying behind to other available clubs running that day.

At Robert May’s we believe that enrichment activities are vital in developing character as well as supporting emotional and mental well being. They are great opportunities to meet new friends and try new things. With over 50 activities we are confident that you will find something that suits you, with sport, exercise, music, drama and other activities available to all year groups. Being a part of Robert May’s community is key so take advantage of as many opportunities as possible (and you get achievement points for taking part which will go towards the House cup). 

Extracurricular activities play a vital role in enhancing character values by providing students with opportunities to develop skills and traits outside the academic environment. Through participation in sports, arts, clubs, or volunteer work, individuals learn teamwork, leadership, discipline, and perseverance. These activities teach responsibility, time management, and the importance of commitment, as students must balance their involvement with other obligations. Engaging in diverse experiences also promotes empathy, respect for others, and a sense of community, helping students understand and appreciate different perspectives. By fostering personal growth and resilience, extracurriculars contribute to building well-rounded, morally grounded individuals.
