Clubs

Our extra-curricular clubs are listed below, with the timetable shown at the bottom of the page. 

Art Club

Art Club is a weekly club open to Key Stage 3 pupils who have a passion for art and design. Each half term or term, we focus on a different project, where we explore a design brief, complete research about the project, before completing our design work. Art Club is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to explore new techniques, as well as get involved in competitions, both within and outside of school. Pupils of all abilities are welcome to come and explore new ways to create art and build their confidence. 

Cheerleading 

Cheerleading is a sport that is practised all throughout the world, with increasing popularity within the UK. Cheerleading takes place weekly in the Gym for Key Stage 3. We are currently practising for the National School Championships. 

Chess Club

Chess Club takes place weekly, students can bring their lunch, grab a board and play a game of chess with the support of teachers. There is also an opportunity to take part in the house chess tournament. 

Coolest Projects

Coolest Projects is a celebration of young digital creators and the amazing things they make with technology. If you love Scratch or Python and want to show off your skills, come along to the Coolest Projects Club to enter the national Coolest Projects competition. This is available for anyone in Years 7 - 11.

Drama Club 

Drama Club put on a fantastic performance of Oliver Junior! this year. This was a whole school musical across all key stages. Many helped with costume, set and lighting. The main parts were few so we double cast the roles and gave more pupils the chance to take the limelight! 

We encourage pupils to come to Drama Club on Thursdays in Bader Hall. Our next project is a performance for the Summer Festival. 

Ensembles and Bands

We have many different ensembles and bands that meet at lunchtime and after school. These include: percussion, guitar, flute, keyboard and brass ensembles as well as junior, senior and chamber choirs and uptown folk and a jazz band. 

Homework Club

The club is open to any student that would like to complete homework, use the computer or get some support with tasks. It is a drop in club. It is not a requirement to attend every day or a certain day per week and students are free to leave when they have finished.

Language Club

At Language Club (for Year 7 and 8) we do some fun and different activities to enrich what we do in the classroom. We cover cultural events, do some food tasting, hold competitions e.g. Karneval masks, play games and try new languages. You don’t have to be good at languages to be a member. 

Music Tech Club / Events Tech Team 

We learn about how sound works, how it's recorded and how it can be used in music, film, TV and games design. We are also the group that helps out backstage with school events such as the annual production, Christmas carol service, spring concert and summer festival (setting up equipment, microphones, speakers, sound and lighting desks). Come along and learn a new practical skill!

Pom Dance

Pom dance is an energetic and dynamic style of dance that places emphasis on precise and synchronised arm movements, formations, jumps, and skills. This club is for Key Stage 3 students and they are currently practising for the National School Championships.

Science Club

Science club is available for Year 7 students. In term one we study witchcraft and wizardry, term two is zombie apocalypse and term three we look at some engineering challenges. Anyone who enjoys doing experiments in science is welcome to attend and we gain badges for completing modules.
