Extended Curriculum Provision at St. Mary's

All after-school clubs, run by school staff, are offered free of charge at St. Mary's - this is to widen equality of opportunity and to ensure that every child benefits from a rich curriculum diet to support their learning.

Our clubs intend to widen access to our pupils to a greater choice of subjects and areas of interest. Some of the clubs are run for pupils within a key stage - others are open to all ages. Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities are welcome and encouraged to join our extra curricular provision.

How do parents sign up to clubs?

School Cloud is an online platform that parents and carers can 'sign up' for their child to attend an after-school provision. School Cloud has been in operation at St. Mary's since March 2022, when parents alerted the new Headteacher to inconsistencies in the previous approach to obtaining places for clubs. This ensures a fair and transparent approach - ensuring that there is true equality of opportunity for our pupils.

Spring 2 Clubs are now live and open for bookings.

What sort of things do you offer?

Evaluating our extra curricula offer

Mr Constable-Phelps meets termly with our School Council to discuss the clubs on offer - this is an opportunity for the student body to canvas ideas for new clubs. For example in 2022, pupils told us they wanted us to create a free, tuition-led, orchestra. In September 2022, with the help of Southampton Music Provision - this will be a reality!

The Headteacher and Senior Team evaluate the club offer by popping in to observe the interaction, engagement and learning of children. Where clubs have a low-uptake - we make decisions on whether or not it is feasible to continue or to change the clubs.
