Halfway Nursery Infant School
Extra Curricular Clubs
At Halfway Nursery Infant School, we are keen to offer a range of experiences for children in order to broaden horizons and build a keen interest in personal development. We strive to offer a range of clubs and experiences in the school day and after hours to ensure our children have the opportunity to both experience something new, or follow an interest. Our clubs are run by specialist partners or expert teachers to ensure the best of quality.
After school enrichment clubs
Every week we offer a range of enrichment clubs after school, which all children (apart from children in nursery) are able to attend (children in Foundation Stage 2 are able to attend from January, giving them the Autumn term to settle into school).
Enrichment clubs run from the end of the school day until 4:10pm (4pm on a Friday).
We use a number of different companies to run our clubs, and we change this offer every half term.
Examples of the clubs we have run recently are:
- Diney song and dance
- Christmas song and dance
- Ballet
- Cheer leading
- Coding
- Athletics
- Olympics-theme
- Basketball
- Glow in the dark sports
- Footgolf
There is a limit on the numbers of children who can attend each club and each club is booked via ParentPay.
The cost for each club ranges from £3 - £4 and is paid to the provider.
Sporting competitions
As a school we participate in a wide variety of sporting competitions throughout the year. Competitions include: athletics, multi-sports, gymnastics and even curling!
Children in year 1 and year 2 get the opportunity to participate in some of these competitions during their time with us.
RockSteady Music
Rocksteady Music is a private music lesson that children, from Foundation Stage 2, can choose to participate in. They offer children the chance to learn to play musical instruments in the set up of a rock band! Children can choose to learn to play the keyboard, guitar, drums or even sing! Each term the children's learning culminates in a special concert where they get to perform what they have learned to an audience.
Please contact the school office for more information.
Children's University
We are proud members of the Sheffield Children's University. This initiative encourages and rewards children (aged 4 and over) and young people for taking part in learning activities of their choice in their own time. Research shows that children and young people who are rewarded for choosing to learn out of school feel proud and confident about their achievements and do better at school.
The Children’s University celebrates children and young people’s achievements with award certificates and badges. To do this we count the learning credits that they earn out of school time – one for each hour.
The national awards are:
- Bronze (30 hours)
- Silver (65 hours)
- Gold (100 hours)
…and these continue right the way up to 1000 hours!
Gold awards are presented at special ceremonies at the Town Hall or universities to which a parent/carer is also invited. With each award children and young people receive, they receive a report which outlines their activities and accounts for each hour they have spent learning out of school. This report can become part of their record of achievement and evidences the learning they have taken part in out of school hours, which can be important when they begin to apply to further education or seek employment.
Children can earn credits through their participation in our after-school enrichment clubs. Children can also collect credits at activities away from school taking place at approved Learning Destinations using a Passport to Learning. These hours will be added to the ones they receive in school to earn them even more awards! Passports can be bought from any local library, and cost £3.50.
More information can be found on the Children's University website.
