Enrichment Programme & School Clubs

You can see more details of our school clubs at the bottom of this page.

Enrichment at Townfield compliments our fantastic curriculum and takes place in a variety of ways, from exciting day trips, memorable residential trips and visitors to our extensive after-school club programme.  Enrichment provides extended learning opportunities and challenges for our children outside of the normal classroom routine.  Through enrichment, our children develop a  sense of self-awareness and often gain a better understanding of what they are learning in the classroom.  Enrichment promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, helps to improve concentration and makes learning more meaningful, valuable and rewarding.

Opportunities to further enhance our pupils' learning include:

Forest School & Outdoor Learning

At Townfield, we are extremely fortunate in having our very own woodland area on site as well as trained staff who deliver our engaging Woodland Learning curriculum. Our Woodland Learning programme is designed to encourage and inspire every single one of our pupils through an innovative, long-term, educational approach to outdoor play and learning in a woodland environment. 

Educational Visits and Residentials

At Townfield, school trips and visits are an extremely important and integral part of our curriculum.  We value the opportunities that educational visits offer our pupils and the commitment of the staff and adults undertaking them.  Our trips are aimed at bringing learning alive and providing first-hand experiences for our pupils.  We also provide extra-curricular outings such as sporting events and attending or taking part in performances or competitions, particularly across our Trust schools.

This year, our Year 6 pupils will take part in a residential visit to Robin Wood Activity Centre in Wrexham, North Wales where they will experience orienteering, climbing, abseiling, raft building, archery and lots more.

Visitors to School

Visitors have a valuable role to play and can contribute to many aspects of the life and work of the school.  Visitors deliver talks, workshops and full day activities across a wide range of subjects, giving pupils access to outside experiences and expertise. Visitors also provide our pupils with a link to the wider community – children have the opportunity to work alongside artists, musicians, authors, religious personnel, health professions, emergency service personnel and others.

Whole School Theme Days/Weeks

At Townfield, we ensure that throughout the school year, themed days/weeks are included in the curriculum to extend the breadth and balance of opportunities we offer our pupils. These include, for example, Anti-bullying Week, E-Safety Day, Children's Mental Health Week, World Book Day, Children in Need Day, Black History Month, British Science Day and Cultural Diversity Day.

School Clubs

To compliment our fantastic curriculum at Townfield, we also offer an extensive range of enrichment clubs to our children.  These clubs range from sporting to creative in nature and we are constantly developing this offering to ensure that the children have a range of opportunities available to them.  In addition, wherever possible, we offer clubs free of charge or with a minimum charge which ensures access for all.  Below are details of the current clubs on offer at Townfield.  

Club Offerings

 

How Long is Each Club? 

Club terms run in line with school terms.   All school run clubs run from 3.15 pm to 4.00/4.15pm.   

 

How To Book?  

Our wonderful clubs get booked up very quickly so we would advise all parents/carers to ensure that they discuss clubs with their children and complete any club online forms which will have been emailed to parents.  Some clubs have limited availability and therefore will be based on a first-come-first-served basis.  

Unfortunately, it is not possible for children to change clubs once allocated.  This is to ensure club registers are always accurate for safeguarding purposes.     

 

Access to Clubs for All 

In certain circumstances, remissions may be made in relation to clubs for children who receive free school meals.  Children on our SEND register are also offered free places, together with an offering of clubs specifically related to those with SEND requirements.

Please contact the school office to discuss, should you require any help with clubs and your child falls into either the Pupil Premium or SEND category.
