After School Clubs

Lower Junior Clubs

We run a programme of Lower Junior Clubs from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm throughout the week. Clubs are allocated using a preference based system and pupils can access 2 to 3 clubs per week, depending on availability and preferences. Some clubs will incur a charge where we employ specialist coaches.  Children can also attend Crèche following a club.

Upper Junior Clubs

Pupils in Years 3 to 6 can enjoy a wide-ranging programme of co-curricular activities through the week each term.  Clubs are allocated on a preference based system which takes into account every child’s preferences over the course of a week.

Activities run at the end of the school day starting at 3:30 pm.  The majority of activities end at 4:40 pm, however some run until 5:30 pm, with supervision available until 6:00 pm.  A hot meal and supervision is available for pupils where clubs/activities finish at 4:40 pm.

The majority of Year 3 to 6 activities are included in Upper Junior fees.  Where activities require expertise from an external coach or company a charge will be made.  Parents will be notified of the cost prior to signing their child up to a club or activity.

Prep, our home learning club, is also available every day for children to complete their work in a quiet, supervised environment.

What our Inspection Report says:

A broad range of extra-curricular activities is offered by the school for pupils in Years 3 to 6. These activities offer excellent cross-curricular opportunities; for example, the painting and dance clubs. The pupils are very enthusiastic about these activities and enjoy the variety on offer.
