Sports Clubs

Our Sports Clubs are open to all children in Years 1 to 6, running year-round to keep our young athletes active, engaged, and learning new skills! We believe in the power of sports to build confidence, encourage teamwork, and foster a lifelong love for physical activity. With a wide variety of sports, there’s something for every child to enjoy and excel in, no matter their ability.

Every session is led by Mrs Ackroyd and another member of Barrowcliff School staff assists her. Our club not only focuses on skill-building and fitness but also on important values like teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Whether your child is trying out a new sport or refining their skills, they’ll have fun and feel like part of a team.

• All year-round activity: We have indoor and outdoor spaces and run sessions no matter the weather!
• Inclusive and supportive environment: Perfect for all abilities.
• Wide range of sports: Children get to try multiple sports and discover their passions.
• Focus on fun and personal growth: We celebrate effort and improvement at every level.

Sports Clubs run after school from 3.15pm till 4.15pm as follows:

• Tuesday - Year 1
• Wednesday - Year 2
• Thursday - Years 3 & 4
• Friday - Years 5 & 6

Gardening Club

Gardening Club runs all year round on a Thursday from 3.15pm till 4.30pm, and is led by our parent-volunteer Mr Hunter, and teaching assistant Mrs Webster.  

Our Gardening Club offers children the chance to get outdoors, learn new skills and work together to help make our school grounds bloom. Pupils take part in planting, weeding, watering, and looking after a variety of flowers, herbs, and vegetables throughout the year.

The club is a great way for children to:

• Learn about nature and the environment
• Develop responsibility and teamwork
• Enjoy hands‑on, practical activities
• See the results of their hard work grow over time

Currently, Gardening Club is open to children in Year 5 and 6.  If your child would like to join, please ask at the office for a waiting list form.
