We believe there are many benefits to school clubs, either held after school or during lunch times. They can provide children with opportunities to: • Increase their participation in physical activity and improve fitness levels • Further the knowledge, understanding and skills developed within curriculum time • Try out activities not included within the curriculum • Begin to specialise in specific activities • Make independent choices and decisions about their participation • Become involved in the organisation, management and leadership of activities • Take part in activities for a variety of different reasons (e.g. for recreation, fun, competition, social) • Socialise with pupils from different classes/year groups and make new friends. As a result our staff work hard to plan, organise and run as varied a range of clubs that we can. We sometimes are supported in this by outside organisations which run popular clubs after school. The range of sporting clubs will vary on a seasonal basis and can include football, multi-sports, summer sports and athletics.
