Clubs Spring Term

At Market Drayton Junior School we try to offer a variety of extra-curricular clubs. They offer the chance to participate in fun, energetic and creative activities.

During the 2024 Spring Term the following clubs are on offer:

ActivSports Football Club

• Year 3 & 4 Mondays, 15:15 – 16:20
• Year 5 & 6 Tuesdays, 15:15 – 16:20

This club will cover all basic and more advanced techniques, including; passing, dribbling, control, technique, skills and shooting, with advanced practices. Sessions are slightly more detailed than football in PE lessons and will also include match related drills to improve the players understanding of formations, movement and communication. These drills are then progressed into small-sided games, allowing the children to put into practice what they have learnt.

Streetdance & Musical Theatre

Mondays, 15:15 – 16:10

This club was introduced in 2022-23 and has proven popular with our budding performers!  Run by Julia Holding, a local dance teacher, the club provides children with a fun and energetic alternative to some of the more traditional sports clubs.  The club is open to all year groups in the Spring Term.

Eco-Schools

Meets once a week during a lunchtime.  The club currently consists of a nominated representative from each class and is run by Miss Weston.

Fencing Club

Tuesdays, 15:15 – 16:20

(Year 5 & 6 first half term)

A new addition to the programme, as part of an alternative sports grant fund for the 2024/25 academic year.  Children can learn the basic skills and drills of fencing, using child-friendly foam ‘swords’.

Outdoor Dodgeball Club

Wednesdays, 15:15 – 16:20

Dodgeball Club is run by Alex Mullins, who provides the badminton club in the Autumn Term and tennis coaching during the Summer Term.  Dodgeball is always very popular with the children!

ActivSports Multi-sports

Fridays, 14:35 – 16:15

Activsports run multi-sports after school clubs on Fridays for all year groups. The aim of the club is to introduce new sports to children that may or may not have played before. Each session addresses many of the sports fundamentals that we would like to see children develop more than being placed into single sported environments at such young and influential ages.

Activsports cover many sports such as football, rugby, basketball, hockey, tennis, dodgeball etc. playing a different sport each week.

All sessions are run by fully qualified sports coaches who have worked in various sporting fields and gained a wide range of qualifications. Each coach has an enhanced DBS check along with a recognised Child Protection Training and First Aid qualifications.

Cookery Club – we have trialled a lunchtime cookery club for the last few weeks of the Spring Term.  This has been run by an external company, Pudding & Pie, and has proved popular with the children taking part in the trial.  We hope to roll this club out from the Summer Term onwards, so please visit the Summer Term Clubs page to check for further details!
