Today was the deadline for the after school clubs letters to be handed in.  I wasn’t in school today (I was at a finance education meeting!) but on Monday we will start to look at who will be in what clubs.

With regards to a few of my clubs: remember things like the boys football have already started and we have had a great response at the trials.  The boys already know how we are going about setting up the various squads.  The athletics kicked off yesterday with around 100 pupils running their fastest times in the trials and again we’ve explained how we need to go about deciding on a squad.  The drama club will start on the 8th of October and we take anyone who is interested into this club.  Anyone who has returned a slip with drama ticked can attend and should come along on the first day.  The chess club will be up and running in term two and more news will be out about that after I have had a look at the numbers of people signing up.

Thanks for your great response.  We have loads of after school opportunities throughout the school and I know the staff who are involved really appreciate your enthusiasm.

Have a good weekend.

Mr B
