Aston Arrows is open to Year 6 pupils and is led by Miss Gould, supported by a fantastic team of dedicated volunteers, including several former Aston Clinton pupils. Our volunteers bring a wealth of experience, enthusiasm and practical skills to the project, helping to inspire the next generation of engineers, designers and racing drivers. The club runs every Thursday from 3:15pm to 5:00pm.
Aston Arrows gives children the exciting opportunity to work together to build, maintain and race a Greenpower kit car. The project develops valuable skills in engineering, teamwork, problem-solving and resilience, whilst providing pupils with a real-world STEM learning experience.
As members of Aston Arrows, children compete against schools from across the country at prestigious racing venues, including Goodwood Motor Circuit and Curborough Sprint Course. For many of our pupils, these race days become some of their most memorable experiences during their time at primary school, giving them the chance to showcase their hard work and experience the thrill of motorsport.
The project forms part of the Greenpower Education Trust, a charity that inspires young people through sustainable engineering and motorsport.

We are currently busy preparing for the Christmas Fete while also designing our cars for this year's theme, Bumblebees. This theme is particularly special to Aston Clinton School as it reflects our commitment to nature, biodiversity and caring for our school bees.
Come and meet the Aston Arrows team at the Christmas Fete, where there will be a range of stalls and activities showcasing our project and giving you the chance to find out more about the exciting opportunities available through the club.
Join us on Saturday 28th November 2026 to learn more about Aston Arrows and celebrate the fantastic work of our pupils and volunteers!
