An allocation of funding to the Heworth Cluster Group was used to develop the varied menu of activities element of the core offer. Each school in the cluster looked at what extra-curricular activities were already available and consulted with parents/carers and children to cater for local demand.
At Wardley:
Children were asked what extra-curricular activities they would like offered. As a result a martial arts club and guitar club was developed using expertise from around the local authority. These clubs were paid for with part of the funding, allowing children the opportunity to try out the activities before deciding to continue with the club with a nominal payment.
As part of the development of the curriculum with regards to the arts, classes across the school were provided with opportunities to visit museums and venues which supported the children’s creative and artistic development.
At The Drive:
The money was used to help subsidise a residential experience for children in year 6. This was a fantastic opportunity for all the children but especially for those who without the subsidy would otherwise have been unable to attend.
At Bill Quay Primary:
The school council completed a survey in school about the type of clubs pupils wanted to take part in. As a result, karate and basketball clubs were offered as part of our ‘Early risers’ activities, and a cookery club ran after school. Funding from the cluster was used to support the costs of these clubs.
At Roman Road Primary:
Funding was used to enrich and extend the after school provision to improve confidence and promote enjoyment. This was achieved through visits to The Sage, dance and skipping festivals and visitors, chef to cook healthy meals and cricket coaching. Some of these activities were well supported by parents who reported their positive comments and feelings to us.
At White Mere Community Primary:
Following an audit of extra curricular activities the pupils through the School Council have requested more activities linked to creativity and the arts which is currently being developed.
Breakfast and after school care is provided by our WASP club and a toddler group meets every Friday morning in the school hall. All of these activities can be viewed on our website as well as on the information screen in our reception areas beside the main entrance
