Clubs and Activities at the Primary School

We offer more than 50 clubs and after school activities each term for children from Year One to Year Six (Year One activities begin in Term 3). These run for an hour after school and are provided by school staff and outside agencies, the latter charging termly fees. We are also fortunate in having parent who organise uniform clubs such as Cubs and Brownies and also offer a range of creative activities.

Clubs and activities offer opportunities for children to take on new challenges, interact with pupils other than their classmates and develop their confidence and self esteem through a range of achievements. Independence, perseverance and commitment are all encouraged through our after school programme and the skills of making choices are introduced and developed.

Swimming and Sport prove to be very popular across the whole age range and the recent introduction of fencing has provided an exciting development for the older pupils. Language classes, musical activities, gymnastics, drama and dance are all well subscribed and other options including art, ICT, speech and drama, maths, karate, nature study, cooking, sign language, tennis and taekwondo are all well attended. Selections for activities are made each term and as far as possible, we try to ensure that every child has at least one of their first choices.

We are always ready to listen to comments and respond to suggestions for extra activities. A Japanese class has recently been organised and ballet lessons are now available.

 

Year Six Challenge

Year Six pupils are able to take part in the Year Six Challenge award which is based on the Duke of Edinburgh scheme for older students. This consists of three strands - skills, service and adventure, which provide opportunities to set and achieve personal goals.
