At our school, we offer a wide range of after-school clubs designed to inspire, engage and support every child’s interests. From sports and performing arts to coding and music, our clubs provide a fun and safe environment for children to explore new skills and make new friends.
Clubs run throughout the week and are led by our enthusiastic staff and trusted external providers. Most clubs take place on school grounds and finish at 4:15pm.
The schedule for our after-school clubs can be found below. To sign up, please contact the school office. We look forward to seeing your child get involved!
In addition to our after-school programme, we also offer lunchtime clubs that run for 30 minutes during the lunch break. These currently include our popular Singing Club and our School Librarians group, giving children even more opportunities to get involved and develop their interests.

Over the last two weeks, we have been using Microsoft Make Code to create a compass on the MicroBits. We had to include degrees for when we turned around so that it would change the direction on the screen.
Art Club made lovely Chinese dragons to celebrate Chinese New Year. They decorated them in feather and coloured paper.
Art Club made some wonderful cards today. They made a stamper out of a plastic bag and it made the result look like roses.
In computing club today we have been programming the Micro:bits. We have used coding to give it a set of instructions to turn it into a step counter. We then went on a journey round school to see how many steps it took to get back to the classroom.
This afternoon we were treated to a lovely guitar performance by our children in guitar club. It was an excellent performance. Well done to all involved.
Years 3 and 5 singing club had a great afternoon singing at Merseybeat Parks, we sang at 4 different sites to 4 different groups of people. It really got everyone in the Christmas spirit with all the carols and Christmas songs, some of residents were joining in too.
What a lovely afternoon singing club had at Alfred Stocks. Singing Club members of Year 1, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 all came along. We sang our hearts out, we had carols, songs and actions. Some of the residents could not believe how professional we sounded! All the children got lovely treats afterwards, thanks you Alfred Stocks!
This week we have continued to code our Micro:bits and because we are confident with the basic coding we have moved on to coding the buttons to follow our instructions when pressed. We made them smile when button a was pressed and frown when button b was pressed.

What a lovely afternoon we had with Year 2 and Year 4 singing club today. We went to Tesco and sang really well. There were lots of people to see us and we raised money for school as well.
This week we coded the Micro:bits to begin to show flashing hearts. To do it we used the forever loop and added in the led heart and a blank one to make it flash between blank and heart. Once we had downloaded the code onto the device we then had beating hearts!

Today we had a painting session in Art and Craft Club. We were painting autumn and winter scenes on a notebook, which the children can give as a gift to someone. The children really enjoyed painting with cotton buds to create leaves!
Today was our first computing after-school club and we were very excited to use the Micro:bits for the first time. We began by learning about how coding is needed to program a device as it is a set of instructions for it to follow. Then we programmed the Micro:bit to turn into a name tag by displaying our names repeatedly.

During their lunchtime club today the school librarians have begun to create bookmarks. The idea behind this is to have bookmarks for children to take and use while using the library. Take a look at some of the ones we have competed below.
In our club today, we have been focusing on developing a series of freeze frames based on a fairy tale. We spent time focusing on our facial expressions and body language. The children then used this to create some effective freeze frames. Well done everybody!
