Curriculum Enrichment

As we are determined to educate the whole child at Hartford High School we also offer a number of curriculum enrichment opportunities.  We offer many extra curricular activities at lunchtime and after normal school hours.  Our students have every opportunity to participate in the widest possible range of pursuits to develop their skills and personalities.

The quality of the gym and dance at Hartford High School has long been recognised as outstanding and we also have a growing reputation for drama and music. Music, which is available as a subject to all students, provides a vast array of opportunities for students including various choirs, orchestras and bands.  We also allow for specialist teachers to offer instrumental lessons, within the school day.

We are very proud to be one of a small number of schools nationally, to achieve the Arts Mark Gold Award.

Many parents, children from primary schools and other members of the local community support our wide range of shows, productions, festivals, gym and dance displays.  We pride ourselves on the incredible participation rate in these events.

There are many sporting activities and the quality of our young sportsmen and women is such that many are selected to represent their town, county, and country. Our vast number of school teams often dominates in competitions.  Within school many more students enjoy friendly competition in the inter-house activities that take place throughout the year and become part of our extensive Sports Leaders programme.
