We offer a wide range of afterschool clubs here at Dovedale School throughout the school year for all of our children. Our clubs help children to develop other interests and skills plus build new friendships and self confidence in a safe space within our school grounds.
Each half term we will send out a letter to parents informing them of 'free' clubs that are going to be available. These are run by our staff within school. Parents can then sign up for their child's preferred choice.
We also run clubs that are led by external companies such as Premier Sports, Clay Creators, Outdoor Project, Magical Maths. These are clubs that parents have to pay for. The information for these clubs is shared with parents each half term.
Every half term we run between 5 to 8 different after school clubs.
Here is a list of the kinds of clubs we have organised.
