The education we offer is to enable young people to have not only the knowledge but also the attitudes, values and characteristics that will enable them to flourish in an ever-changing and demanding world. The education we offer goes beyond the purely academic. It must enable our young people to discover their unique place in the world, their God-given purpose; to realise their potential in the knowledge that the world is a poorer place without them.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Learning for life in all its fullness!

We believe that our extra curricular activities are fundamental to our children’s development and learning. Not only does it engage and motivate children, but it is a great way for our children to develop life skills such as teamwork, determination and respect. Physical exercise is also essential in mental health. Developing a healthy lifestyle at a young age will lead to greater wellbeing and mental resilience in later life.

As part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, schools in Britain have received substantial funding. At Green Haworth, we will be using this funding for the following purposes:

• To give our children free access to a wide range of sports and healthy activities through P.E and after-school clubs.
• To provide county-wide competition in a range of sports.
• To ensure that children of all ages experience competition against other schools in the borough.
• To utilise facilities that we would not normally be able to access.
• To train staff to a high level of coaching so there is sustainability beyond having access to Legacy funding.

After-school clubs for the first half of the autumn term are as follows:  All clubs run from 3.20-4.20pm. Sessions will begin on Monday 8 September and run for six weeks until Thursday 16 October.

Please be aware that some clubs will be cancelled due to unforeseen events. However, we will contact parents in advance of this. Occasionally, clubs will be cancelled on the day due to the weather or staff absence. We will ensure we contact parents by 2:00pm via the text messaging service. Please ensure we always have an up-to-date phone number. The cost of all this terms clubs have been heavily subsidised by Sports Premium Funding.

All clubs cost £1.00 per child per session. You can apply for any club by returning the reply slip with the cost of the club.

Please post reply slips in the post box in Reception area. Mrs. Little will then confirm that places have been provided by the usual texting system.

*Children may wear their P.E. trainers or pumps and their P.E. kit which should be in school when attending clubs that involve physical activity. Children must wear suitable footwear. Children will not be allowed to participate if they only have inappropriate shoes

All children should be collected from the main hall door at 4.20pm promptly by a responsible person.
