After School Clubs
Because St. Michael’s is a small school, everyone joins in and ‘does their bit’. We are proud of the wide range of activities offered outside the National Curriculum and also outside school hours and believe such activities enhance a child’s learning experiences.
Each term depending on the season (and weather) there is a varied selection of after-school clubs on different days for different age-groups. There are fewer clubs on offer to the Infant children because they tend to be very tired at the end of the day. In recent years these have included football, healthy cookery, gymnastics, netball, tennis, gardening, recorders, Fun and Fitness, ball games, athletics, rugby, pottery, hockey, science, chess, computer club, Urdd and art with many others besides! We hope that all pupils will discover a sport that they can enjoy both now and in later years.
Parents need to give their consent before children can attend a club. For safety’s sake children must be collected from clubs, they are not to walk home alone unless their parent / guardian has sent a note.
Residential Visits
Older pupils have the opportunity to go on a number of residential visits in Years 5 & 6. We are very grateful to the members of staff who give up their own time to allow this to happen.
Pupils in Year 5and 6 have the opportunity to spend three days in the Red Ridge residential centre near Welshpool, where they take part in a wide variety of activities including, rock climbing, abseiling, problem solving and caving.
Pupils in Years 5 and 6 also have the opportunity to visit Cardiff and visit places such as the National Assembly, the Millennium Stadium, Techniquest, the Cardiff Bay Barrage, Cardiff Castle or see a show at the Millennium Centre.
For visits where a tutor / teacher from another organisation is working closely with the pupils, parents are asked to provide information regarding their children’s’ special needs and /or disabilities to the providers of services to ensure that reasonable adjustments are made as required
