Clubs

 

We are excited to share details of the Spring term’s extra-curricular activities - new clubs are highlighted in gold!. We’re thrilled to offer a wide range of clubs for children across our school community. All clubs will run for 10 sessions, starting the week of 13 January and ending the week of 24 March unless otherwise noted. Please note, if minimum enrolment numbers are not met, we may need to cancel some clubs. For lunchtime clubs, children can still enjoy a hot school meal, with time allocated for them to eat. To accommodate all activities within the school week, the Taskmaster Club will take place before school on Mondays for the Spring term

To book a club, please refer to the table for details. Clubs led by St. Mark’s staff or volunteers can be booked through Arbor, while those run by external providers should be booked via their respective booking systems, with details provided on the form overleaf. After-school clubs run by St. Mark’s staff will have a nominal fee of £2 per child, per club, which will go toward purchasing resources for the clubs.  If you are in receipt of Pupil Premium, please contact the school office to book any clubs run by St Mark’s staff.
