Extra – Curricular Clubs
This year we are excited to offer our pupils a wider range of extra curricular clubs that will run before and after school. Clubs will include Cookery Club, Art Club and an array of Sports Clubs including football, Dodge Ball and Dance. Letters will follow shortly. Please do ensure you sign your child up for one of the clubs available. We have limited spaces for each club.
NEW – Rocksteady!
We are offering our pupils music tuition this year through Rocksteady Music School. Your child had an exciting assembly and workshop in July. This will be a fantastic opportunity that will allow our children to experience the joy of making music in a fun, inclusive, and engaging way.
Tuition will be led by expert musicians who will teach our pupils to play instruments such as the drums, keyboard and guitar. They will also have the opportunity to learn vocal techniques. As part of the tuition, our children will form their own Rock Band and have the opportunity to perform in front of audiences throughout the year.
More information has been sent via Parent Mail this week.
Wrap Around Care
There are some changes to our Wrap Around Care offer this year.
Breakfast Club run from 7.30am and will include breakfast for the pupils who attend. The price for this provision will be £4.50 per session. This club is led by Mrs Crane and Mrs Savill.
After School Club will continue to run until 6.00pm. Please see the links below for information, prices and booking details.
