At Our Lady of Lourdes, we feel that by providing a wide range of after school activities we are giving additional opportunities to allow pupils to

• Make a positive contribution to our school
• Develop a new skill or talent
• Do something they enjoy
• Make new friends
• Release energy
• Work collaboratively or use their independent thinking skills
• Be competitive
• Improve their health and well-being
• Be reflective and spiritual
• Increase confidence and self-esteem
• Succeed in non-academic activities
• Develop leadership skills and a strong character

The list of benefits is endless and so we have made a commitment to offer a minimum of two sporting clubs each half term and a different club on every night of the week. Children help in the selection of these clubs through questionnaires.

If you are interested in signing your child up for an activity then log onto the School Gateway, where you can give consent and make a payment.

OLOL will do everything in its power to keep clubs running but we have a minimum financial obligation that allows us to pay staff. Activities may have to be cancelled if we do not have the minimum numbers to make them viable. In the event of a cancellation, all monies will be refunded or swapped to an alternative activity at your request.

If you have any queries about after school activities please contact Mrs Maxwell, Office Manager.
