To keep children active the staff and specialist coaches run a number of after school clubs. These change each term to give variety and letters are sent home at the beginning of term to apply for the clubs. During previous years we have run sports clubs-including football, netball, cricket, tennis, aerobics, chess club, art, textiles, weaving, creative art, cookery, sign language, green club, ICT, dance and choir.

The clubs may be run at different times throughout the year, most of the after school clubs are restricted on the number of children who may take part and some may be restricted to certain year groups.

All clubs will run for a total of eight weeks these being the four weeks before and four weeks after each half term holiday.

Due to the number of other activities most clubs do not run in the last half term of the school year.

Keep watching this page and your newsletters for more information.
