School Clubs
The clubs are available to the children in the stated year groups and letters will be sent out providing more information.
If you wish to make contact about a club please email clubsandvisits@archibaldfirstschool.co.uk
Please note that due to high demand for the clubs, you will receive a text confirming if your child has a place at the club. Names are always selected anonymously and at random making the selection criteria as fair as possible. The school office keeps a list of all children who applied for a club for instances of children no longer wishing to take part or if the club is run again later in the year.
