After School Clubs

Here at Croft Community School we believe that After School clubs can have a hugely positive effect on our children.

Mixing with existing friends in a new environment helps children learn to share and appreciate each other’s talents and abilities.

Engaging with new friends and being in a productive environment helps strengthen confidence and independence. When they all have something in common (a passion for gymnastics, art, outdoor crafts), children have a head-start on forming new friendships. Getting to know children outside their existing group encourages their sense of independence.

Realising they’re good at something boosts a child’s enthusiasm and confidence in the classroom. Even if an after-school activity is not directly related to classwork, it can give children a renewed enthusiasm for a subject in more subtle ways.

Discovering that they have a talent for or just enjoy performing in a drama club, for example, can do wonders for confidence in speaking up in class, or could inspire their creative writing.

We are hoping to run after school clubs during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights after the half term and are going to consult parents and carers about the sorts of clubs their children would be interested in.

Please continue to consult the website and Facebook pages for more information.
