We are proud of the valuable contribution that extra-curricular clubs make to children’s learning and personal development. The range of clubs offered varies each term and has recently included activities such as football, rugby, netball, homework club and many others.
Teaching staff generously volunteer their time to run many of these clubs. However, as part of our commitment to extending both the quality and variety of opportunities available to pupils, we also engage professional organisations to deliver some sessions. These externally run clubs may incur a charge.
Every effort is made to accommodate as many pupils as possible. Families receive an email each half term outlining the clubs on offer, together with information on how to book a place.
Instrument Lessons
In 2022-23 we joined a pilot scheme led by York Music Hub to reintroduce 1-1 or small group musical instrument lessons at Elvington. We are delighted that this collaboration has continued with the delivery of piano and vocal tuition to pupils in the school. A limited number of YMH Bursaries (reduced fees) may be available by application only, which the school submits to the Hub. If the application is approved, the parent/carer will be notified. Children from the following categories are eligible: (1) Free School Meals (2) Pupil Premium (3) Looked After Children.
In September 2026 York Music Education currently has spaces for children interested in learning:
- Violin with Dr Nina Kumin
- Flute or piano with Nicola O’Connell
Individual and small group lessons are available during the school day. Instrument hire
and financial support may also be available.Parents can register their child’s interest

Although the form refers to joining a waiting list, spaces are currently available and we will contact families as soon as possible.Further information is available at https://www.yorkmusiced.org.uk.
Guitar lessons are provided by Link Learning, a team of teachers, musicians
and artists who believe that every child should have the opportunity to develop and express their creativity. They offer:
- Creative tuition tailored to the interests and learning style of the individual
- Digital resources to support learning at home
- Termly progress reports
