Clubs & Activities

Clubs and Activities at Sprowston Community Academy

At Sprowston Community Academy, learning goes beyond the classroom and is supported by our diverse extra curricular offer of clubs and activities. We believe that extracurricular activities can help our students grow in confidence, build friendships, and enjoy a richer school experience. We strongly encourage all students to take up these opportunities to help develop their wider character.

Clubs help students to:

  • Make friends across year groups
  • Build leadership and teamwork skills
  • Discover new interests
  • Improve wellbeing
  • Feel part of the school community
