We have an exciting extra-curricular activity programme called ‘Super Nova’ which is updated on a termly basis. Staff at Nova are committed to offering a varied and inspiring selection of activities which they very much hope you'll learn to love as they do. All students are encouraged to get involved by finding their passion - fuelling their passion - feeding their passion - developing their passion - sharing their passion.

There are many opportunities for pupils to represent the academy in sports teams. Pupils will be able to train and, if selected, represent the academy in fixtures and tournaments.

All students are encouraged to try and attend at least two clubs during each term.

For details of SuperNova Enrichments please look on Epraise.

We offer a range of school visits, school trips and residential trips to support learning, enhance life skills and develop independence. These will include: 

• A number of day trips e.g. theatre trips 

• A programme of foreign trips each year, for example in 2024 there were trips to Belgium, Paris and a Skiing trip in the French Alps.

Adventure Service Challenge and Duke of Edinburgh

The Adventure Service Challenge (ASC) scheme provides activities for young people aged from 8 to 14+ years old. Taking part in ASC provides opportunities for young people to find self-confidence, a sense of purpose and achievement whilst providing structure and training which forms an ideal precursor to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Students can do programmes at three levels which when completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.
