Clubs and Enrichment

At St John Fisher, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to discover their interests, develop their talents and enjoy experiences beyond the classroom.

Our clubs and enrichment opportunities form an important part of school life. They provide children with the chance to try something new, develop friendships, build confidence and discover talents they may not have known they had.

Rooted in our Catholic mission and our LIGHT values of Love, Integrity, Growth, Hope and Togetherness, our enrichment programme encourages children to participate, persevere, work collaboratively and celebrate one another's achievements.

Our extracurricular clubs

We offer a changing programme of clubs throughout the school year, providing opportunities across creative, sporting, musical, academic and social areas.

Our Autumn Term clubs have included:

Cooking Club

Children develop practical skills, explore ingredients and learn about food preparation. Cooking also provides opportunities to follow instructions, work independently and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something themselves.

Sign Language Club

Children develop an introduction to sign language and explore different ways of communicating. The club promotes inclusion, understanding and respect, helping children appreciate the importance of making everyone feel welcome and valued.

Sports Clubs

Through physical activity, games and team challenges, children develop coordination, confidence, resilience and teamwork. Sporting opportunities also encourage children to show determination, support one another and enjoy being active.

STEM Club

Children explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics through practical activities and challenges. They are encouraged to ask questions, experiment, think creatively and develop their problem-solving skills.

Young Voices Singing Club

Children develop their musical confidence and enjoy the experience of singing together. Through rehearsals and preparation for Young Voices, pupils have the opportunity to develop performance skills, work as part of a large group and celebrate the joy of music.

Board Games Club

Through a range of games and shared challenges, children develop strategic thinking, problem-solving, patience and positive social skills. The club provides an enjoyable opportunity to learn together and build friendships.

Our programme evolves throughout the year so that children can experience different activities and explore a range of interests.

Special events and celebrations

Enrichment at St John Fisher also includes opportunities to come together as a school community outside the normal school day.

During Autumn Term I, we held two movie nights: one for children in Years 1-3 and another for children in Years 4-6. These events gave pupils the opportunity to enjoy an evening with their friends in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

We also organise age-appropriate school discos, providing opportunities for children to socialise, celebrate and enjoy being part of the St John Fisher family. Our Autumn Term II programme includes separate discos for Reception, Years 1-3 and Years 4-6.

These shared experiences help to strengthen friendships, build a sense of belonging and create happy memories of school life.

Enrichment for every child

We want our enrichment opportunities to be accessible, varied and meaningful. Whether a child enjoys sport, music, practical activities, creative challenges or spending time with friends, we want them to feel that there is something they can enjoy and be proud of.

Through our wider enrichment offer, children are encouraged to:

Discover new interests and develop existing talents.
Build confidence and independence.
Develop friendships and positive relationships.
Work collaboratively and appreciate the contributions of others.
Show resilience, determination and a willingness to try.
Develop an appreciation of different experiences and opportunities.

Growing together

Our clubs and enrichment activities are part of our commitment to developing the whole child. Academic learning is important, but so too are the experiences that help children discover who they are, what they enjoy and how they can contribute to the world around them.

We want every child to have opportunities to shine, to try something they may not have tried before and to feel a sense of achievement and belonging.

At St John Fisher, we want children to leave us with happy memories, lasting friendships, new interests and the confidence to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.

Love. Learn. Shine.
