After School Clubs

The school offers a wide variety of after school clubs run by both our teachers and external providers.  Of the 28 clubs currently on offer, 60% are free of charge.

We actively encourage the children to take part in the activities on offer, as they provide fun and motivating ways for them to learn, play, develop new skills and enjoy exciting experiences.

You can book clubs, which change each term, through Parent Portal.  We will confirm when each programme goes live.  If you have any questions about the clubs, contact the Extra-Curricular Coordinator. Externally provided clubs include:
