Clubs and Activities

Click here to see our programme of activ­it­ies for the Summer Term 2012

The Junior School offers an extens­ive programme of extra-curricular activ­it­ies. The major­ity of these take place between 3.45pm and 4.45pm and offer a wide choice and the chance to learn many new skills. This programme is an integ­ral part of the children’s educa­tion and our pupils are encour­aged to make the most of the oppor­tun­it­ies provided.

The activ­it­ies currently include: Ballet, Drama, Swim­ming, Chess, Tennis, Foot­ball, Art, Speech and Drama, Netball and the ‘Mini-Club’ for Infants. The options do vary over the year and are inten­ded to reflect the interests of both the pupils and the staff. An active involve­ment in some of the pursuits listed above can develop increased self-confidence and a real sense of achieve­ment outside the classroom.
