Club afternoons run on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with sport on Mondays and Wednesdays. Every club is included in the fees — there is no separate charge for any of them.

What is on offer
Pupils from Basic 1 upwards choose a club at the start of each term and stay with it for the term. Preschool has its own programme within the school day.
