The many activities which are an integral part of the life of this busy community are not regarded as "extra-curricular" at the Royal Alexandra and Albert School. They form part of the everyday experience of pupils here.

Every weekday from 4-5pm pupils are actively encouraged to attend activities. There are also activities at weekends, at other times during the day and later in the evening for older pupils. The swimming pool is available every week-night, with swimming sessions arranged according to year groups.

At weekends there is Saturday morning school and pupils often go into the local town on Saturday afternoons. There is a range of activities on Sundays and details of these can be found in the weekly newsletter.

The range of activities is wide, and designed to appeal to pupils of all ages and tastes. The activities on offer typically include:
