Extracurricular opportunities outside school

This page has been created to be a standard information page for all Henley Primary, Secondary and Independent Schools where families can obtain information regarding opportunities outside of school.

For families who need financial assistance, Henley Educational Trust (HET) is the main source of support and funding. Individual applications can be made here: https://www.henleyeducationaltrust.com/grants/ 

Please note that families will need to meet certain criteria to be eligible for support, e.g. income, home address etc.

HET will potentially provide support for activities provided by all the organisations below – with fees, equipment etc. – but other potential sources of support are also noted in the table.  HET offers funding for 90% of membership fees for one club/activity per year for each eligible child.
