Autumn 2023 Enrichment Clubs
We are pleased to inform you that for the summer term we are offering over 40 enrichment clubs with a huge variety across: music, sports, performing arts, languages, STEM and creative. Each class provides an opportunity to further support your child's learning and development with team work, creativity and confidence being among the key skills our clubs seek to develop.
We work hard to develop such a varied list of clubs giving children the opportunity to participate in new experiences. Some clubs will be run by external companies, others by our own talented staff with classes taking place before, during and after school, and are open to children from Reception through to Year 6.
As we have always done, clubs are booked per term with each enrichment programme running for approx. 10 weeks, stopping during the school holidays and finishing at the end of term. Each club has a maximum limit of children who can attend. This is for the health and safety of both children and staff who run the clubs.
