Our first Saturday Club took place in March 2009 closely followed by our first Holiday Club in April 2009, both clubs have proved extremely popular. In May 2009 we opened up the service to include siblings of students already attending our school. In 2010 we are hoping to open the service even further to include, subject to availability and suitability assessment, the wider community.
Both the Saturday and Holiday clubs run from 10.30 a.m. till 4.00 p.m. and enable children
and young people to:
Try new activities and have fun
Access sports activities both in school and off site
Utilise extensive out door play areas
Participate in dance, sensory drama
Enhance social experiences via structured therapy sessions
Visit local places of interest
Take part in subjects such as:
Horticulture
Animal Welfare
Food Technology
Benefit from the school’s Healthy Schools Status
Develop self advocacy via a Student Council.
Environment
The clubs are mainly based in Lakeside II which has its own office, kitchen and separate male/female toilets. The Clubs also have access to the main Lakeside house and the recently refurbished play area which is situated immediately behind the building.
