We run a variety of after-school clubs across the week, providing over 400 places. The clubs range from sports to arts & crafts and provide a variety of enrichment opportunities for our children beyond the normal curriculum. We continue to partner with KDW Sports to provide high quality coaching opportunities for children across the school, and have drawn upon the many talents and skills of our staff to offer a wide range of activities which continue to prove hugely popular.
Please see the calendar of when clubs are/aren’t running here: Clubs Calendar 2024-2025
The cost of clubs has increased this year to £2.30 a session (£23 for the term). To enable us to continue providing the range and number of clubs that are available at The Winns, we have had to make the increase.
Clubs from September 2024
Registration for our Autumn Term clubs has now closed. You can view the full timetable, including pick up locations, below.
Autumn Term Clubs 2024
Autumn term clubs will run for children from year 1 upwards. Once our new Reception children have settled in, we will begin offering clubs for them in January.
Applications for Spring term clubs will open in late November/early December.
What clubs are on offer?
Please see below for a brief description of each club to help your child decide what they might want to attend.
Multisports sessions (run by our experienced coaches from KDW Sports) Y1, Y2
Focusing on developing children’s fundamental movement skills and physical literacy in a fun environment. Lots of games and a range of sports incorporated into the sessions.
Stay and play (run by KDW) Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4
An opportunity for children to spend more time socialising with their peers after school. Some skill-based sports activities will be available alongside other art-based activities and games that the children can choose to free-flow between.
Athletics, Football, Baseball (Y5/6 only) (run by KDW) Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6
Ideal for children who want to develop their skills in these sports under expert guidance from our coaches. Friendly competition is introduced in an inclusive environment.
Girls Football (run by KDW) Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6
Part of our ongoing commitment to the #LetGirlsPlay campaign, we have decided this year to give our girls their own club. We hope this will give the girls who have shown an interest in football but lacked the confidence to join one of the main football clubs an opportunity to get involved!
Gardening (run by Ms. Daria Durma) Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6
Perfect for the green-fingered and eco-conscious amongst us! Daria will adapt the session across the year to suit the season and the weather to include some craft-based activities and also project work around the school which will care for and develop our green spaces.
Arts and Crafts (run by Mr Mike Waterston) Y1, Y2
Lots of crafty creations and creativity. The children usually work on projects spread over a few weeks that will a involve a range of art & design skills.
Yoga and Mindfulness (run by Ms. Catherine Smith) Y1, Y2
This mid-week club will provide the children with an opportunity to try some yoga and mindfulness activities.
Lego (run by Ms. Alidie Gashi) Y1, Y2
Does what it says on the tin (or maybe Lego box!). Ample opportunity for designing, constructing and exploring using our range of Lego sets and equipment.
Chess (run by Lucy from Chess In Schools) Y3, Y4
Part of a new partnership, Chess In Schools work to provide opportunities to children in state schools to learn and play chess.
Story Soup (run by Ms Jan Cheeseman) Y1, Y2
Story Soup with Jan is a fun art and drama club. Each week Jan will focus on a new picture book with opportunities for children to participate in drawing the main character, act out various characters to music and perform to each other in a small nurturing group.
