The Pre-Prep School

Clubs

At Clifton College Pre-Prep, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. The diverse range of clubs on offer is designed to inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and promote personal growth, ensuring that each child discovers and nurtures their unique talents.

Exciting clubs at Clifton College

A world of opportunities

Starting in Year 1, we offer a wide variety of activities to engage students after a busy day through our after-school clubs. The choices available vary each term to ensure a fresh and exciting range of options. Some favourites include the relaxing Friday Film Club, the challenging Karate lessons, and the fun Circus Skills Club where children can learn to juggle!

Nurturing interests and talents

Our clubs are thoughtfully designed to cater to a wide array of interests, enabling every child to find their niche and develop skills beyond the academic curriculum. By participating in these activities, students build confidence, enhance social skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning.

Benefits of after school clubs

After school clubs are often a mix of pupils from Reception to Year 3 and, where appropriate, Preschool join too. This creates a wonderful community across the school where friendships form and older children provide support for younger pupils.

What's on offer

Most of our clubs are run by our dedicated teaching team. However, where an activity requires the employment of an outside coach, there may be an extra charge to cover the cost. There is always so much on offer, whether children are looking for something creative, sporty, or just plain fun!

Discover gymnastics

Our young gymnasts grow in confidence every week and develop an impressive list of physical skills.

Ukulele club

Children can come along and learn to play the Ukulele. With lots of laughter guaranteed alongside learning to play lots of ukulele chords to sing our favourite songs.

Model making

Whether children are into LEGO, junk modelling, clay creations, or just enjoy getting crafty, this is the place to let their imaginations run wild and their hands stay busy.

Friday film club

Children can bring along a cushion to the Butcombe Hall for a film fiesta every Friday! What better way to round up the week than a snack and a movie in our Friday film club.
