After School Learning

We greatly value learning opportunities outside of the normal school day and provide our pupils with a range of interesting, high quality activities and experiences. We firmly believe that providing after school learning opportunities:

• Complements classroom learning
• Encourages good habits for learning
• Encourages pupils to take greater responsibility for their own learning
• Leads to improvements in the attendance and behaviour of some pupils
• Provides opportunities for staff to interact with pupils in a more informal setting

We ensure we provide a range of learning opportunities to promote the knowledge, skills and understanding of our young pupils and aim to raise their aspirations and develop a love of learning.

We are a validated provider for The Children’s University. Many of our pupils have joined the programme and work hard to complete their passport towards their graduation ceremony. We offer a range of learning opportunities, which are usually run from 3.15 to 4.15pm. These are often led by our staff and are usually free of charge. We place great value on all our extra learning opportunities, which are very well attended and are often over-subscribed.

Many of our children attend a paid after school club in the local community which collect children from our school. This includes an after school club at Normanton Junior Academy.
