Extra Curricular Activities

At Florence Melly Community Primary School, we offer a variety of clubs and activities outside of our regular school day. We are really proud of our vibrant extra-curricular offer and this is much appreciated by our parents/carers. All of our clubs are free as we see these as an extension of our school day; yet another way to enhance our pupils’ cultural capital. In the past twelve months, we have offered the following clubs and activities: football, multi-sports, chess, Summer garden kitchen, forest mini skills, Spanish, phonics, enterprise, athletics, chef skills cookery, art, tennis, book club, Irish dancing, puzzle and board game, times table, choir, crafts, forest explorers, Year 6 boosters, yoga, Squiggle while you wiggle, social interaction and communication, Lego, story book, parent and child cookery, social skills and games, curling, life-skills, Christmas around the world, fantastic book awards, world foods celebration, newspaper and STEM. WOW…we told you that our extra-curricular offer was pretty good!

As part of our extra-curricular offer, we aim to:

  • ensure that our curriculum extends beyond the academic, technical or vocational and that it provides for learners’ broader development, enabling them to develop and discover their interests and talents.
  • offer provision that supports learners to develop their character – including their resilience, confidence and independence – and help them know how to keep physically and mentally healthy.
  • prepare learners for future success in their next steps.
  • prepares learners for life in modern Britain by: equipping them to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society; developing their understanding of fundamental British values; developing their understanding and appreciation of diversity; celebrating what we have in common and promoting respect for the different protected characteristics as defined in law.

In order to achieve these aims, we offer a range of lunchtime and after-school activities that enhance and support children’s learning beyond our vibrant curriculum offer. Clubs are run by a mixture of staff and adults from external organisations and are available across all year groups. 

We are delighted to inform parents/carers about the new extra-curricular clubs available to the children for the second half of the Spring term 2024. To see what clubs are on offer this half-term, please click the following link: https://florencemelly.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Extra-Curricular-Clubs-Spring-Term-2-2024.pdf 
 

Our clubs will start the first week back (from Monday 19th February) and will run until the Easter break.

Please complete the form below to request a place for your child at one of our new clubs this half-term (these are highlighted in yellow). If you do not hear back from the school office, please assume that your child has a place in the club(s) that you have requested. If this is not the case, due to demand, we will contact you.

If you have more than one child, please complete a form for each child.

The vast majority of the clubs on offer from this half-term are running again after the holiday, without the need to rebook. This is because this half-term has been so short and disrupted by poor weather.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Flo Melly team.
