Clubs

After-school clubs are provided by a combination of staff and external companies. A small fee is charged for some clubs. However, pupils who are entitled to free school meals (and therefore where school receives pupil premium) can sometimes attend clubs free. Clubs for sports and other physical activity have a nominal fee and may be subsidised by our PE and Sport Premium, providing an affordable way for children to learn new skills and keep active outside the school day.

Contact the office staff for details on what clubs are available – it’s best to find out towards the end of each term so you know the full menu of options. The after-school clubs ‘menu’ changes each term and is based on pupil and parent/carer feedback. Provided there’s enough take-up, the clubs will run. Here’s a selection of clubs we’ve offered:

• martial arts (outside company)
• love of reading
• multi-sports
• Lego
• gymnastics
• wake up, shake up
• school football club
• arty activities
• football (outside company)
• craft club

I do lots of sports but football club is my favourite. I think my football skills are getting better and I am fitter too.

As well as clubs after-school, look out for other occasional clubs. Sometimes, after-school clubs are available on an ‘invitation’ basis, offering extra learning support.

We will endeavour to accommodate all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, whilst working within the club’s limitations, making reasonable adjustments. In rare circumstances, we may not be able to make enough adjustments to meet some specific needs.

Learning an instrument

Does your child want to learn guitar, keyboards or drums? We offer individual tuition led by an external company specialising in musical tuition – we currently use Roundhay Music. This will involve your child leaving their regular class for a while to take one or two sessions with a separate tutor.

Because instrument tuition is an extra service, there is a charge (unless your child is entitled to free school meals and where school receives pupil premium). Again, contact the office staff for more details on what tuition is currently on offer and the cost of this.
