How to sign up
To sign up for a club, pupils need to attend the club on the day shown. Lunchtime clubs may not fill the whole lunch period and may vary in start and finish times to allow time for lunch. The location of each club is shown in the table above.
Our clubs are very popular and some of them do have maximum capacity limits. If a club is oversubscribed, we will add names to a waiting list and pupils will be advised when a space becomes available, which may be the following term.
