Extra-Curricular Activities

Westminster Academy offers a variety of engaging extra-curricular activities (ECA). Our clubs and activities help students to develop friendships, consolidate learning, gain new skills and increase confidence. Many of our clubs take place at lunchtime to allow students to socialise with their friends and meet like-minded students during the school day.

ECA Programme

You can find the 2025-2026 ECA programme available to download at the bottom of this page. It aims to provide students with engaging opportunities to explore different interests and talents and develop soft skills in a structured and supportive environment. With activities ranging from Photography to Robotics, and Choir to Marketing, we hope there is something for everyone.

The arts

Our talented Expressive Arts students have opportunities to perform several times a year. This has included summer musicals such as We Will Rock You and Hairspray, and our virtual performances during the pandemic! Lunchtime and after school ECA include arts and crafts, drama and choir.

Exploring academic curiosity

Clubs such as STEM Club and 'Tycoon Enterprise' Club aim to inspire academic curiosity and a love of learning. Debate Club and Model United Nations (MUN) encourage students to express themselves confidently and understand the value of considering a diverse range of opinions. There are lots of other activities, like Creative Writing, Spanish and UK Maths Trust (UKMT) competitions to offer something for all our students.

Shared interests

Chess tournament Our popular games club gives students the opportunity to problem-solve and socialise in a fun, relaxed environment. Most clubs are open to all year groups which allows students to mix with a variety of people with similar interests. Our weekly Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Club (DEI) offers an opportunity for students to discuss issues that matter to them and and promote inclusion.
