School Clubs

Here at Oatlands Infant School, we are proud to offer a variety of exciting extra-curricular school clubs that run both on a lunchtime and after school. If you are interested in joining any of the clubs mentioned, please contact our friendly school office for more information.

We have capacity for between 30% and 45% of our pupils to attend a wide range of funded, free and charged-for clubs. We recognise that this is a highly unusual number; however we believe that children - despite being so young - should have a range of exciting active and academic club opportunities offered by school and external providers.

Booking:

You can book onto the courses that have places via:

ParentPay for Art Club, Storytelling Club and Well Being Club,

All the clubs are for 5 weeks and start w/c 13/01/2025 and finish w/c 10/02/2025

Once all the places are taken you will no longer be able to book/pay for the Club.  When you have booked/paid that is your confirmation that your child has a place.
