Our Extended Services team run a rolling programme of clubs and activities throughout the year, split into two areas:
- Study support includes a range of homework clubs as well as revision classes in the run-up to exam season.
- Sports, leisure and arts gives students a chance to learn new skills, try something different or further a love of a particular activity. Sports clubs help our students stay fit and healthy, learn about working in a team and channel their energy in safe and supportive environments.
Clubs generally run from 3.30pm to 4.30pm, depending on the activity. Some clubs run until 6pm.
Our programme of clubs is published annually. New activities are added throughout the year, and children can sign up at the start of every term.
Many clubs are run by staff, but we also employ highly recommended specialist tutors (all fully DBS checked).
