Clubs & Activities

Sample Copy

Introduction

Welcome to the programme of Clubs & Activities for the school. We pride ourselves

on the exciting range of clubs and activities that we offer at Prior’s Field. This booklet

provides details of the Clubs & Activities from which you should choose up to three

for each term. All students must sign up on FROG, except for Funky Food who can

sign up with the Food Technology department. We hope you enjoy making your

selection.

In making your choices remember that the following extra curricular activities take

priority: Choirs & Orchestra, School Productions, Sports Teams, extra Art Classes and

Riding. Make a note of all your prior commitments before making your choice of

Clubs or Activities. Full details of the extra curricular schedule are included at the

back of the booklet.

In making your choices, do look at the times at which the clubs are offered and

ensure that you are available. Please also note that there are some clubs which will

incur a small fee, either because they are run by external providers or to cover the

cost of materials.

It is important that all girls recognise that they are expected to make a commitment

for the whole term. Absenteeism affects the whole group and, where teachers

have planned and prepared for specific activities, can be very disruptive. If it is unavoidable you should let your Form Tutor know in advance and, preferably, the

teacher running the particular Club or Activity too.

We hope you have a really enjoyable term ahead participating fully in the Clubs and

Activities available for you. If you have any questions about Clubs & Activities please

ask your Form Tutor or Mrs Waugh in reception or by email [email protected]

Finally, if you have any suggestions for new Clubs or Activities, or people who might

like to help us run them, please let us know - tell your tutor, year leader, Mrs Waugh

or myself.
