We offer a range of after school clubs which are open to all pupils. Our performing arts club is extremely popular and produces two school productions each year. We have a STEM club, a wide range of sports clubs and activities before and after school, a cookery club and a creative writing group.

At De Warenne Academy we offer a wealth of extra-curricular activities available for students both during the school day and outside of their school day. 

The De Warenne Academy Council provides an opportunity for pupils to have their views heard and influence decisions made which impact upon them, their education and their community. They form an integral part of the communication between their peers and the Academy leadership team, allowing them to express and represent the views of each and every pupil. In addition, Academy Council representatives are empowered to take a leading role in organising a number of events throughout the academic year such as:

All pupils have the opportunity at the beginning of each academic year to apply for a position on the Academy Council. Each application is supported by a reference from a member of staff and pupils are encouraged to apply from Year 7 through to Year 10 so that representation is inclusive. Year 11 are included in the communication process, however due to their final year commitments do not attend formal meetings.

STEM club runs Monday afterschool (2.30 to 3.30pm) weekly, providing exciting opportunities to complete practical challenges. The club is supported by a group of “Science Leaders” who are student volunteers interested looking to mentor and support other students in science. The club is extremely popular, so students must sign up in advance in order to attend the weekly session.

We have also recently received funding to support our students in attending more STEM careers and learning opportunities outside of the classroom. The department is aiming to host at least one opportunity a month, targeted at different groups across the school.

The club is run by Mr Cudine.

We’re super excited to announce that we are now able to offer our current Year 9’s the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.  This is a progressive scheme, recognised and valued by universities and employers, that allows students to develop the skills and attitudes to become more rounded, confident adults.  By taking part in the scheme, students will grow in self-confidence, resilience and initiative, improving their sense of responsibility, problem solving and team work skills.  

The award scheme is split into four areas, volunteering, skills, physical and expedition with students needing to complete all areas to achieve their award.  All students will currently start at Bronze level.
