School Clubs
All our clubs are run by school staff or appropriately qualified professionals and give our children a range of enriching
opportunities to extend their learning through taster sessions. We are proud of the number and variety of extracurricular school clubs we offer the children during the school year. All clubs run either before or after the school day
or during lunchtime.
Most clubs have a cost in order to cover the cost of any necessary resources. School staff that run clubs do not get
paid to do so which helps to minimise the cost to parents. All children who receive Pupil Premium Funding access
clubs for free.
Club registration begins at 6.00pm on the Friday two weeks prior to the end of the half term and closes on the
following Monday at 6.00pm. The exception is in July as we do not offer club places for the new academic year until
September when the new Reception children have started school full-time.
All club places must be paid for in full by sending the correct money into the school office in a clearly marked
envelope by the Friday following Club registration. If payment is not received, your child will not be allowed to
attend the club and their place will be offered to another child.

which helps improve co-ordination, motor skills, behavioural and social skills. The clubs are well run, structured,
lively sessions that are delivered in a friendly, pressure free, fun learning environment in which young children will
improve confidence and self-esteem through success, enjoyment and achievement. At the same time they will be
learning the basic catching, running, passing and kicking techniques.

remember the words. Some of the favourite songs this term have been ‘We’re so proud of school’, ‘Who put the

another instrument later. They will learn to play simple tunes using a range of notes and the lessons go at the pace
that is appropriate for the group. Children need a recorder and a recorder book to participate which can be
purchased from school and a cost of £13 for both. You will be advised by text which group and day your child has

and is open to all year groups. The cost is £0.75 per session and there are 30 spaces available. At Dance Club the
children have fun, get some exercise, get creative and learn some groovy moves. They start by warming up to a
familiar song before learning and choreographing moves to a dance. They learn a new dance every half term and get
the chance to perform it to each other. They finish the session with a fun dance activity such as circle star where
they take it in turns to perform some moves to each other. They may even have a dance off where Mrs Robilliard’s
crew and Mrs Milsom’s crew battle it out to see who comes up with the best moves! The favourite songs to dance to
so far have been ‘Shake it up’ and ‘I feel better when I’m dancing’. The children like to dance to songs and music
from other countries too. Every half term, a star dancer is chosen from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. They are picked
based on attendance, good listening, enthusiasm and trying their best. It’s always very hard to choose!
