At Orchard Mead, we want as many students participating in our extra curricular provision so that we see students thrive as learners and as people!

  • Make more friends.
  • get shout outs
  • Complete your pledges

Remember – A great attitude and effort is essential in all our clubs!

Pupils should speak to the staff member linked to each club, to find out more and sign up.

Breakfast Clubs

We are fortunate to be working with Magic Breakfast to ensure that no student starts their school day on an empty stomach.

As part of the these schemes we are able to offer to all our students FREE a healthy breakfast to support their concentration and success.

All students are welcome to attend our Breakfast Club which is open from 7.45 am to 8.15am every morning.

Breakfast is served from 7.45am to 8.10am.

The club is supervised and has lots of games and activities from table football to board games such as Chess and Jumanji.  Students are also encouraged to play outside on our outdoor Gym or with the basket balls.

We believe this positive start to the day encourages students to develop a healthier lifestyle as well as supporting friendships and developing communication skills.

Lunchtime Clubs – Autumn Term 2024

Willing students will need to sign up for a club in the first week of every half term.

15-25 places are available for each club (see below).

If students haven’t signed up and the club is full, unfortunately they won’t be able to attend.

Students will lose their place in the club if they have not attended for 3 consecutive weeks.

Students will also now need to wear full PE kit for each club (or other sports clothing if their PE kit is being washed).

Students can sign up outside the PE office this week during their breaktimes, lunchtimes and any day afterschool.
