Brookburn Primary School Extra Time Brochure Summer 2015 Please return your enrolment forms by Tuesday 21st April 2015
Brookburn s Extra Time Activities Programme Welcome to your one stop shop for finding out about clubs and activities that happen after school at Brookburn. These clubs are provided by Brookburn staff, Brookburn parents and professional activity companies, for the benefit of our children. The aim is for them to enrich the curriculum and be a source of stimulation and fun for all ages. Wherever possible, these clubs are free or for a minimal cost, however professional activity companies will incur costs that they must cover and will therefore often charge a fee. There was fantastic participation, once again, in the clubs last term, with over 300 places being taken up in over 22 clubs. There were so many clubs on offer that some simply didn t have enough numbers to run, but we are hoping take-up of these clubs (fencing and photography) will increase again. We are really using our school space to the maximum now and have two sessions running before the school day (gymnastics and fencing) and the MUGA and top yard are being used for sports activities after school every day. Please note that these clubs do not have an indoor space, so children must be prepared for whatever the weather throws at them! There are some small outdoor covered areas for the when the weather becomes too adverse. Most children are able to attend the club that is their first choice and waiting lists will continue to operate to ensure everyone gets their turn at some point over the school year. We are delighted that some new clubs and activities have been added to the list and we are extremely grateful for the support of parents and teachers in getting these established. Please feel free to contact Janet Davenport, the Deputy Head, if you have other ideas or could offer any clubs to develop our Extra Time Programme. Please read the extra activities page carefully and clearly indicate on the enrolment form which club or activity your child is interested in. Please note that some clubs request payment weekly, some half termly and others termly. This will be shown clearly on the letter you receive when your place in the club is confirmed. We are looking to attract organisations to rent space in the school for clubs, events, etc. We have availability in the evenings (after 6pm) and at weekends. Please contact the school through j.davenport@brookburn.manchester.sch.uk
