Extra Activities 

Our programme of activities is designed to enrich the experiences and learning of our children. The clubs and activities on offer are continually evolving and may be added to throughout the school year. A table of current club offerings can be found below.

Benefits of After-School Clubs

Participating in after-school clubs offers a wide range of benefits for children, including:

  • Personal Development: Clubs help children build confidence, independence, and resilience as they explore new interests and take on challenges outside the classroom.
  • Social Skills: Children have the opportunity to make new friends, work as part of a team, and develop communication skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.
  • Academic Support: Many clubs reinforce learning in creative ways, helping children to deepen their understanding of subjects and develop a love for learning.
  • Physical Wellbeing: Sports and active clubs promote physical health, coordination, and a positive attitude towards fitness and healthy lifestyles.
  • Creativity and Expression: Arts, music, and drama clubs allow children to express themselves, explore their imagination, and develop their talents.
  • Sense of Belonging: Being part of a club fosters a sense of community and belonging, helping children feel more connected to their school.

We encourage all children to try something new and take advantage of the exciting opportunities available through our extra-curricular programme.
