School clubs

[Enko]

My dd1 is in her 3rd year as a primary school teacher so come September will be in her first job. Today we were discussing school clubs and how many are run by teachers plus what type she might want to run l. Made us wonder what sort if clubs are out there l. So what clubs are happening ar your school and when? (Before after during school time)

Sports clubs mostly. Run by a mix of teachers and parents. I’ve also seen craft clubs, art clubs, French club, choir, dance and cookery. If a teacher wants to run a club, schools rarely say no but it’s hard work!

Most of the after school clubs run at DS2's primary are run by external organisers, not teachers. Teachers work hard enough as it is! However there are weekly golden mornings which are mostly teacher-led.

Sewing club, homework club and art club at my school

One DD currently does history and Zumba. Other has craft, multi skills and craft. Most clubs are at lunch time.

At previous schools they have done sewing, origami, choir, cooking, drawing, theatre. DD1 wants to do STEAM next year.

Teacher run - orchestra & choir. Rest are outsourced.

Our infant school only run music and some sport (outsourced), but our Junior school (completely separate entity) run loads some outsourced but many Teacher led:
yoga
gymnastics
cricket/football/rugby/netball/hockey/athletics (seasonal)
Gardening
book club
chess
Judo
sugarcraft
cookery
dance
french

Music comprising orchestra, bands but these are within the school day
Hope that helps!

They have a gardening club at my school, they plant veg and flowers in raised beds, the kids love it. Also dance, sports, cookery, french and choir.

During lunchtimes & run by TAs / teachers:

Gardening club
Colouring club
Craft club
Choir

After school, run externally:

Drama
Multisports
Dodgeball
Gymnastics
Football

They also have a music teacher come in to teach piano, violin & guitar.

It’s highly unlikely that she will have time to run an after-school club, particularly as an NQT. Most clubs are run by TAs or outside providers.

DD's primary school have several sports clubs, but also a Construction Club (Lego etc) run by parents & currently a Logic games & Puzzles club run by teachers. Before Christmas there was a Christmas Craft club.
But this is a tiny village primary.

I’m in Ireland and we don’t have Afterschool clubs...it is all done within school time!!

We currently have
Football club
Rugby club
Netball club
multi sport clubs ( KS1 and KS2)
film club
colouring club
choir
lego club
sewing club
and taekwondo.
The last two are paid for, the rest are free and run by teachers.

After school:

Football (both external and training for the school football team)
Netball
Athletics
Homework
Film
Board games
Craft
Lego
Dance (external - paid for)

We also have choir at lunchtimes, and just breakfast club before school. I think an afterschool SATs club for Y6 is starting soon.

Lego, football, computers, French, art, tap dancing (external), chess. Debating, puzzles,
