Before and After School Provision

Enrichment Opportunities and Clubs

Thomas Jones is committed to providing a range of before and after school initiatives to enrich children’s learning and development. Our approach is always to focus on quality rather than quantity, ensuring that what is offered is legitimately valid, engaging and invariably inventive.

Clubs include both squad and generic development training for swimming, hockey, football, handball and cricket. There are also opportunities to take part in dance, French, arts and crafts, yoga and cookery. These ventures are open to different age groups and are led either by external specialists or by our own staff members. Pupils are actively encouraged to participate in clubs outside of the school day and suggestions for new ventures are welcomed and incorporated into future planning.

For some of the above, it is necessary to charge a fee in order to cover staffing costs and materials. These charges are periodically revisited to consider whether further reductions can be made or subsidies organised where appropriate. All enquiries regarding clubs should be made to clubs@thomasjones.co.uk.

Please refer to our Clubs Timetable Spring Term 2024 and Clubs at Thomas Jones Overview Letter Spring Term 2024 for more information. 

Sporting clubs are organised by the PE Leader, Scott Gourley. Letters pertaining to these will be sent home termly throughout the year. Please refer to the Sports Clubs Timetable Spring Term 2024 for details.
