Extra Curricular Clubs - Rooksdown

Extracurricular activities include sports, languages, music lessons, and others. They usually complement an academic curriculum. This page details the extracurricular clubs offered internally by the school staff or external providers. Please be advised:

• After-school clubs run by external providers must be booked and paid for directly with the provider
• You must rebook into the internal clubs every half term; they do not roll over. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee your child’s place, as spaces are limited
• Extra-curricular clubs are not intended for childcare. We will endeavour to keep these internal clubs running each week but reserve the right to cancel a session, sometimes at the last minute, and we will communicate this by text
• The internal clubs are not for profit; there will be no refunds for cancellations or non-attendance
• If your child turns up to a club without a booking, we may call you to collect them as, due to ratios, we can only have a certain number of children per club
• If a club finishes at 16:00, 16:15, or 16:30, that is the collection time. If your child is picked up late multiple times, we may need to consider withdrawing their place
• We will not run any internal clubs in the first week of each half-term, but you can book your child for one during this time via our new system and app, Arbor. From summer 2025, booking and payments will all be done in Arbor.

Mindfulness Colouring Club

Mrs Arnold runs a Mindfulness Colouring Club. Mindfulness colouring can be used as a form of art therapy, which can improve focus and attention on your surroundings or your emotions at that time. This form of mindfulness can help children to calm their bodies and minds. It can support in creating a relaxed, positive environment which can in turn benefit behaviour, communication and emotional regulation. This form of colouring supports fine motor skills as well as allowing your child's mind to get some rest after a long day at school.

Best of all, participation is free, making it accessible for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, Miss Bagshaw is there to guide you and ensure everyone has a great time.
