Clubs and Activities

At St John Fisher, we want children to enjoy a wide range of opportunities beyond the classroom. Our extracurricular clubs provide opportunities for children to explore new interests, develop their talents, build friendships and enjoy spending time with their peers.

We offer a changing programme of clubs throughout the school year, with activities designed to appeal to a range of interests and age groups. Our clubs reflect our commitment to developing the whole child and encouraging children to grow in confidence, independence and teamwork.

Our clubs programme

Our clubs vary each term, allowing children to experience different activities and discover new interests throughout the year.

Our Autumn Term programme includes:

Club	What children can enjoy
Cooking Club	Developing practical skills and creating food through hands-on activities.
Sign Language Club	Exploring communication and learning introductory sign language.
Sports Club	Taking part in physical activities, games and team challenges.
STEM Club	Exploring science, technology, engineering and problem-solving through practical challenges.
Young Voices Singing Club	Developing singing and performance skills in preparation for Young Voices.
Board Games Club	Enjoying games that develop strategic thinking, problem-solving and social skills.

The programme changes throughout the year, and details of each new clubs timetable will be shared with parents ahead of the start of each term.

Special events

Alongside our regular extracurricular clubs, we organise additional activities and events throughout the year.

These have included movie nights for different age groups and school discos, providing children with opportunities to socialise, celebrate and enjoy time with their friends outside the normal school day.

Where special events are organised, information about dates, timings, arrangements and costs will be shared with parents in advance.

Booking and paying for clubs

St John Fisher operates a cashless system, and all extracurricular club bookings and payments are managed through School Gateway.

When a new clubs programme is announced, parents can view the available activities and register their child's place through the School Gateway app.

Please ensure that you:

Check the clubs available for your child's year group.
Register your child's place through School Gateway.
Complete payment through the app where a club is chargeable.
Check the day, finishing time and collection arrangements for each club.

Places may be limited for some activities, so we encourage parents to book promptly once the clubs programme becomes available.

Attendance and collection arrangements

We ask parents to ensure that children attending after-school clubs are collected promptly at the finishing time of 4.15pm.

Details of collection arrangements will be shared when each club is advertised. If your child is unable to attend a booked session, please inform the school office.

Need help?

If you have any questions about our extracurricular clubs or experience difficulties using School Gateway to book a place, please contact the school office. We will be happy to help.

We look forward to seeing our children enjoying the opportunities available, discovering new interests and making the most of life at St John Fisher!

Love. Learn. Shine.
