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. 

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.

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.  Pupils eligible for Pupil Premium are able to attend one club free of charge, please contact the school office to book (for clubs run by St Mark’s staff).
