Extra curricular

Our rich extra-curricular programme has been designed to provide a broad range of activities to engage children in learning opportunities beyond the classroom, provide a sense of achievement and promote a love of learning.

Clubs are extremely popular and enable staff to develop relationships with pupils from across the academy as well as nurturing hidden talents. Some clubs can also be linked to our key priorities, such as debating club, STEM and reading. We offer a variety of clubs throughout the year, led by members of staff, at lunchtime or after school. These have included beekeeping, STEM Club, dance, gardening and coding. 

Our regular lunchtime clubs include: 

Choir: Our talented choir has performed alongside other schools at a number of events this year and also took part in the Young Voices 2023 choir in Sheffield. 

Wake-up shake-up: Every day from 8.30-8.45, our Year 6 Playmakers lead this fantastic activity to help start our day in the hall. The whole school are invited to attend. 

Lunchtime playmakers: Our Year 6 children design and lead lunchtime activities for our younger children in school. These activities range from ball games, parachute games and even colouring activities. 

Lunchtime cricket: Runs every Wednesday lunchtime with Mr Magee. 

Lunchtime football: Runs daily with Mrs Hoggarth and Mrs Exley.

Morning reading club: A ‘Reading for Pleasure’ group, led by Year 6 pupils, runs every morning before school in the library. The group brings together readers to discuss their love of books.
