Extra Curricular Activities
We believe that children benefit greatly from involvement in and access to, activities in addition to formal teaching activities.
Extra-curricular activities vary according to the time of year but usually include various sports, dancing, choir and Jesus and Me (JAM) club. Most activities take place after school, although some such as JAM club and Choir can be held during lunchtimes. Many activities are free of charge, although some, usually run by outside agencies, charge a fee. Parental agreement must be obtained prior to any child attending any activities.
Music lessons are also available in school time via the Schools Music Service. Some instruments may be loaned from school. Please contact the School Office for more information.

Here they will learn about team work and good sportsmanship, and help keep fit and active. Many of children play for football teams at weekends, but some don’t. This gives all our children to play the sport and also represent the school in games.
