We hope that the extra-curricular clubs will help your daughter to develop and practise new skills, challenging and encouraging her to take risks. At the back of this booklet you will find a useful summary of all the clubs on offer, which are paid for and when they occur.

These are beginner’s language clubs; activities include songs and games. Even if you did it last term, please feel free to sign up again.
Mindfulness Clubs Mindfulness clubs are run by our mindfulness teacher Julia Hennessey. Tuesday’s club is for U2 pupils to have some time to try out and extend what they learnt during their RS lessons in L2. The FI club on Wednesday will give them the opportunity to be introduced to mindfulness. At its most basic level, mindfulness equips you with the skill of training the attention by attending to and focusing on whatever is happening in any given moment. But mindfulness is also useful in helping us to address the kinds of worries that we all experience. In the case of young people, it can help them learn how to work skilfully with the stresses and strains of childhood and adolescence without being swept away by them. These coping skills then remain with them into adulthood. Mindfulness practice itself involves activities such as attention-training and meta-cognitive tasks that help children focus on the present moment and work skilfully with their thoughts and emotions. It doesn’t necessarily come easily; the mind often wanders at first. But with practice, children become more able to focus their attention. ‘We go into some depth about how the mind needs to be trained, a bit like a puppy. Our feedback shows that children love the neuroscience and finding out about how the brain works.’
Orchestra Orchestra is open to all who play an orchestral instrument from grade 1 and above. There are opportunities to work on a wide variety of musical pieces and learn how to work as a team. Pupils normally participate for the whole year. While clubs are in year group bubbles, Orchestra will rotate on a 4-week system. Wk 1 U1, Wk 2 F1, Wk 3 U2 and Wk 4 L2.

However the club has recently opened up to L2 and U2 due to popular demand! Different year groups have their clubs on different days. U1 Musical Theatre runs at lunchtime and afterschool.

Yoga Club Yoga club is open to F1 pupils and runs on a Monday lunch time. Yoga for children has so many benefits. It helps to support positive mental health by teaching children to manage stress through healthy movement, body awareness, breathing techniques and meditation. By learning how to use their bodies in a healthy way each student, no matter what their ability, children develop a sense of belonging and become part of a healthy, noncompetitive group. This in turn helps to build concentration and increase confidence and positive self-image, in a safe and nurturing environment. Above all, we learn in a fun and creative space through games and individual challenges. This club is available to book on a termly basis.
