We believe that after school clubs add to the children’s enjoyment of school and enriches the children’s learning experience. For this reason we try to run a number of after school clubs each term, in addition to our Twilight provision for working parents. We try to make sure that there are a number of different clubs which appeal to different children’s interests and are for children of different ages.
Glee Club
This is a new club this year and gives an opportunity for those children that love to sing a chance to perform and indulge in their passion. It is run by Rachel Kennedy who has over 20 years’ experience staging youth theatre productions. It is a performing arts club that aims to develop children’s confidence, and to support their mental health and well-being through music and movement.
