Hi everyone,
I've recently secured a job and would like to make the best possible impression and become part of the wider school community.I thought I could offer to set up and run a club, I mentioned this at my interview and the head seemed keen.I have never run a club before and do not have any particular talents more interests.My interests are in nature, I know the school has an Eco club and in gardening.I also like baking. My confidence was severely dented at my last school where I was only there for a year but I had a really stressful time and one of the criticisms leveled at me was that I didn't contribute anything to the school, which on reflection was true but I was concentrating hard on my class!
I see this as a completely fresh start and for me to try and be the type of teacher/person that I want to be and know I can be.It's only a temporary position initially but I want to demonstrate that I can add value to their school and I'd like to be kept on.
Can anyone share the type of clubs they have run or have at their schools? I have experience in KS1.I am not very arty but like the sound of perhaps running a club or perhaps a maths games club but would have no clue really how to start.I am a returning teacher so do not have much experience of being part of a school.I know the school I will be joining does not run many clubs at the moment and I cannot see from their website any current clubs and obviously that would be something I would be finding out when I start.I thought I could offer to assist in a club currently running to begin with but perhaps have some ideas for potential clubs.
TIA
