Extra-Curricular Activities
At St Edmund's Catholic Primary School, we are passionate about offering as wide a range of clubs as possible for the children. We aim to provide a broad mix of extra Curricular activities, including a range of sports (both individual and team) and the arts. The precise mix of activities varies from term to term, but there is always plenty to broaden children's minds and develop their skills. Clubs and activities offer the chance for children to take on new challenges, work with different people, and build their confidence and self-esteem. Our extracurricular activities encourage independence, perseverance and commitment.
The majority of our clubs presently run from 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm, with children encouraged to bring a healthy snack to enjoy before starting. They will begin on the second week of each term and finish during the penultimate week of the term.
Have a look below at the clubs children are enjoying this term!

Code Club
Code Club were asked by STEM.org.uk if they could help Matthew Capstick, a student at Edinburgh University who had created an educational game to help learners with understanding how to use algorithms. He gave us a game to play called The Heist based on navigating through the underground lair of some baddies who had stolen the Scottish Crown Jewels. The children found it quite challenging but were able to give some useful feedback which I'm sure will help Matthew develop his ideas.
