We also run after school clubs in Gymnastics, Aerobics, Dance, and Trampolining.  This has produced many successes but also involves a heavy commitment time wise.  All members of staff regularly attend INSET and moderation courses.  The department believes in educating pupils to lead active and healthy lifestyles for life.
