Clubs

Our Vision

At Westleigh Methodist Primary School, we know that academic outcomes alone do not make a well-rounded person. We are committed to developing the whole child through a range of experiences that go beyond curriculum requirements.

We understand the importance of extracurricular clubs and events as part of our children's education. We believe that doing things outside of the classroom plays a vital role in children's education - it enhances our children's learning journey beyond the school day. Extracurricular activities are one of the ways to support children to have greater opportunities, aspiring children to learn more about a subject or finding a skill that they would like to pursue in more depth. 

Westleigh Methodist Primary School's programme of clubs on offer varies from term to term but aims to provide a mix of sport and creative activities. We believe that these opportunities give children the chance to make new friends, build upon their growing confidence and offer valuable life experiences too.

Aims of our Provision

  • To build a circle of peers who share a common interest / hobby / goal
  • To provide opportunities to develop new skills
  • To support existing passions and nurture new ones
  • To create opportunities to participate in competitive sports - to build teamwork, respect and resilience
  • To foster a positive attitude to all aspects of school
  • To promote a healthy lifestyle: both physically and mentally. 

This ensures that all of our children are able to do all things possible. 

All after-school clubs begin straight after school at 3:30pm and run until 4.15pm.  Please collect your child from the school playground at their usual door at 4.15pm.

All tutor groups run until 4.30pm.

All before-school clubs start at 8.20am. Please bring your child to the door at the top of the slope (where Breakfast Club enter the school building). 

Clubs in Spring 2025 are:

Choir

There is still opportunity to join Mr Brocken’s choir. Please contact the office.

Music gives children the chance to express themselves, to explore their creativity, to work hard at something, persevere and shine. At Westleigh...we shine!

Visiting the school choir as they rehearsed in the hall was definitely my ‘wow’ moment of the week. Their voices were beautiful and it was lovely to hear them sing to their hearts’ content.

Clubs in Autumn 2 2024 were:
