How...
Extra-Curricular Activities Boost Learning Taking part in extra-curricular activities after school can have a positive impact on children academically and socially. Extra-curricular activities can give children a sense of wonder about the world, and more time to explore their wider interests. They can also broaden their academic and social lives. Rather than distracting pupils from their learning, extra-curricular activities complement study and help to develop key skills that will support them in their future.

Book a Free Trial with Blackwell Dance Academy Blackwell Dance Academy prides itself on being a very friendly school with a high standard of teaching.
Studies have shown that extra-curricular activities can boost academic performance in children. They have better organisational and time management skills because they have to balance their hobbies and school work. An afterschool activity can also be a great boost to their self-esteem and provide important social opportunities, exposing them to new and different people, cultures and lives.
It is priced very competitively and boasts a 100% examination pass rate. The Academy offers specialised ‘Boogie Baby’ and ‘Dancing Stars’ classes for children aged from 2 years at various venues.
Do some research on your local clubs and classes and go and try them out. Many will offer a free trial session. Being passionate and committed to something outside of school will really help your child in later life when it comes to choosing further education and a career.

Martial Arts
Creating a masterpiece, sewing or throwing a pot can help improve a child’s coordination and focus, and encourage creativity.
Karate and other martial arts encourage self-discipline as well as boosting self-confidence and respect.
Coding
Music
There are some great clubs that will engage a child who loves gaming. Why not create a game or build a robot instead of playing FIFA, Fortnite or Minecraft?
Learning an instrument helps improve language skills and memory. Learning a musical instrument develops a child’s ability to think creatively and improves memory skills, along with perseverance, self-reflection, and self-discipline.
Dance Dance helps to improve confidence in children and adults alike. It also helps build co-ordination and kinaesthetic intelligence.
Gymnastics The physical and mental demands of gym help to improve focus, flexibility and coordination.
Languages Learning a foreign language will broaden your child’s job prospects and introduce them to a different culture. It also helps develop communication and social skills.
Sport Sport helps children understand responsibility and commitment, and develop resilience. They get stronger mentally and physically, and it can help concentration at school too. If they are part of team they learn to think about the bigger picture and have empathy for their teammates.
In the main studio there are classes in ballet, tap, modern jazz, musical theatre, acro and performance classes for older pupils.
