Clubs & Activities

We aim to provide a broad and varied range of school clubs, providing children the opportunity to try as many different activities as possible. Some clubs are run by OVS staff, others are organisations who visit school to deliver their clubs on our site.

Some clubs will continue from one term to another – Drama Club, Chess and Karate are good examples of activities and skills that can be developed over time. Otherwise clubs are organised to take account of the weather, our grounds and the wishes of the pupils,

As an example, please find below a summary of our club choices and costs, exclusive of any applicable taxes, for the Summer Term 2024.
