We are also involved in negotiating which extra-curricular clubs are offered across school. We ask our classes during circle time the sorts of clubs they would like to take part in and then feed that back as part of school council meetings. One of the clubs which we have helped to implement is the ‘Book Buddies’ club for Key Stage 1 and Year 5 and 6.
