Breakfast Club
Every morning at 7:55am we have Breakfast club with Mrs Upperdine and Miss Jepson. Children in our nursery can also book into breakfast club which is in the nursery building and run by nursery staff who are familiar to your children.
Places need to be booked via the School Comms app at least the day before. It is £3 per session.
Colouring Club
Our wellbeing warriors, alongside Mrs Upperdine, run a colouring club each lunchtime for KS2 children. Children are welcome to go along and have a chat and colour with their friends. Relaxing music is played and it is a really calm environment.
Music Lessons
We offer music lessons to all of our pupils in Y2 and above which are provided by specialist teachers from Barnsley Music Services. In special cases, upon arrangement with the teacher, younger children may be able to partake in lessons.
Currently we have brass, percussion, guitar, piano, flute, clarinet and violin lessons. If you are interested in your child receiving these lessons, please contact the school office for information about costs. Instrument hire is available and lessons are paid for termly.

After School Tuition
In November we started our in-school tuition offer using school staff who know the children well in years 4, 5 and 6. Some children in Y6 have been invited to stay after school for a one-hour session with school staff with a focus on reading, maths and spelling. From January, children in other year groups will be invited to join small group tuition groups taught by school staff.
