Students attending Highfield engage in a highly structured programme of personal and social development activities which take place during break times and lunch times.  The students do not simply play at break time. They are all engaged in a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities designed to support their personal and social development.

In 2011/12 we will continue to develop our extensive programme of after school activities which are delivered by our teaching and non-teaching staff. These include Skiing, Interactive games, Sewing, Textiles, ICT, Model Trains, Archery, Swimming, Dance, Music, Art, Yoga, Newspaper club, Basketball, Interactive Board Games and Video Club.

In 2010/11 we have taken over 40 students away from home on a variety of residential visits to both the Lake District and North and South Yorkshire. These have proved to be both very successful and very popular.   

In the Summer Holidays we deliver a Holiday Activity Programme.  This takes place in late July and features five full days of exciting activities for the students, based in school but also around the Wakefield District.
