Hitchin Boys’ School provides many opportunities for extra-curricular activities for your child, including a rich variety of experiences in sports, the arts, clubs and other creative pursuits including music concerts and the school play. We also offer workshops, activities and visiting speakers that come from external organisations to enrich the curriculum and students’ experiences.

For most of these activities, we do not make a charge. Staff volunteer their time as sports coaches and club and activity leaders but there are other costs associated with these activities. These include the sports equipment, running of the minibuses, running and maintenance of the Astroturf pitch, supplies used in clubs such as art, science, license fees for the rights to plays etc. Unfortunately, the core funding received from the government is insufficient to cover the resources that are used in these activities.

To help fund these opportunities, we welcome a monthly donation to the school, although you may prefer to make a quarterly or annual donation.  Many parents choose to make donations over the five or seven year period they expect their child to attend the School, but donations can be made for any number of years.
