Extra-curricular Activities - Junior School

Extra-curricular clubs provide pupils with wonderful opportunities to make new friends, stay active, and develop new skills in a safe and supportive environment. At St. Lawrence College, we offer a wide range of clubs — from infant activities to chess — ensuring there is something to suit every interest. Clubs run both during the school day (at lunchtime and within school hours) and after school from 3:30–4:30pm and are available to pupils from Foundation Stage 1 through to Year 6. Our outstanding facilities, including a 25-metre heated outdoor swimming pool, outdoor tennis courts, an all-weather pitch, a large sports hall, and an athletic running track, support the breadth and quality of the activities on offer.

Team Sports

Many of our clubs encourage teamwork and physical activity through both indoor and outdoor sports. Popular choices include football, rugby, tennis, basketball, volleyball, karate, rhythmic gymnastics, dance, and more. All sessions are led by fully qualified, professional coaches, who bring their expertise to provide high-quality coaching for pupils of all abilities.

Swimming

Swimming is not only a life-saving skill but also the gateway to many enjoyable water-based experiences. At St. Lawrence College, we offer afternoon swimming lessons for pupils aged 2½ to 18, taught by friendly, caring, and fully qualified instructors. Structured lessons cater for all levels, from water-confidence classes through to advanced club swimming.

Music

Music is at the heart of our school culture. We believe it is a creative and social art to be enjoyed by all, and our after-school Music School provides pupils with the chance to explore their musical interests. Instrumental tuition is offered in piano, guitar, violin, and drums, with pupils also able to prepare for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) examinations.

Other Clubs

Alongside sport and music, pupils can enjoy a variety of other activities across the year. These include Choir, Drama, Chess Club, Art Club and Robotics.

Practical Details

At the end of the summer term, families receive information outlining the full range of clubs available for the following academic year. This includes details of the age groups, times, and any associated costs, helping families to plan ahead and choose the activities best suited to their child’s interests.
