Extra Curricular



Extra-curricular activities are an important part of life in Castle Gardens as we aim to provide opportunities for children to further their skills or interests outside the classroom.

We also offer music tuition primarily for violins, flutes and recorders and we have also been offer tuition for other instruments including saxophones.
Block 1 Clubs
This year we have an even wider range of clubs for our children to attend organised into three blocks. Block 1 will run before Christmas, Block 2 will run from January until Easter and a third, shorter block, will run after Easter.
Our after-school clubs are provided in two ways – by an external third party or by teaching staff. Clubs that are taken by a third party organisation will require external registration and payment. Details can be found below with clickable links are available on our website and newsletter.
The clubs that are on offer will be shared and pinned in our news section as well as our newsletter and Class Dojo.
