Enriching the Curriculum Primary Phase Clubs Primary Phase - Clubs & Activities ​We are very excited to be able to offer a large variety of extra-curricular activities. These clubs currently run both before and after school. There are clubs available for all pupils, but please be aware that some clubs specify which year groups are able to attend. You will be aware that some clubs are offered by teaching staff and that others are organised through outside agencies. We aim to offer as broad a range of clubs as possible however these may change on a termly basis, depending on staffing and availability of facilities. Clubs will not normally run in the first week of term and may occasionally need to be cancelled at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. Whilst we always try to give as much notice as possible and understand that last minute changes can cause logistical and childcare problems it is important to remember that these clubs are enrichment activities and are not intended as a childcare facility. Clubs are coordinated with our wraparound childcare so that children attending are escorted to wraparound after their club has finished. We offer a wide range of after-school activities, our clubs are popular and as a result are oversubscribed. We try to keep allocation of places fair for everyone and we will continue to review our processes to ensure that this remains the case. We do expect that the same high standards of behaviour and respect is expected from all pupils within these clubs with each other and the colleague running the club. These clubs are due to start the week of the 11th September 2023, they will run all through the year, unless otherwise stated by the club teacher or coach. Please see the clubs below and if interested or have any queries contact the coach / teacher named alongside each club.
