Enrichment

Our after-school clubs give pupils the chance to unwind, try new activities, and build confidence with friends in a safe and supportive environment. Whether your child wants to get active on the sports field, get messy with arts and crafts, or learn a brand-new skill like coding or cookery, there is something to spark every imagination.

Clubs are run by our dedicated school staff alongside trusted specialist coaches, and we refresh our timetable every term so children always have something new to look forward to.

Educational visits and residentials are some of the most memorable parts of a child’s time at St John’s Junior School. Stepping outside the classroom helps bring topics to life, sparks curiosity, and gives pupils the chance to build independence, teamwork, and confidence in new environments.

From local museum visits and theatre trips to outdoor adventure residentials in Key Stage 2, every trip is carefully planned to link directly to our curriculum while keeping safety and inclusivity at the heart of everything we do. Explore our upcoming visits and parent information on the Trips tab.

At St John’s Junior School, we believe children should have a real say in the life of their school. Our School Council brings together elected representatives from each class to share ideas, discuss what matters to pupils, and help make our school an even happier, kinder, and better place to learn.

Meeting regularly with staff, council members lead on everything from playground improvements and charity fundraising to eco-initiatives and welcoming visitors. Being part of the School Council helps pupils develop confidence, teamwork, and an early understanding of democracy and active citizenship. Meet this year’s representatives and see what they are working on on the Pupil Council tab.

At St John’s Junior School, enrichment isn’t just an optional extra—it is woven into the fabric of school life for every single pupil. Alongside our core curriculum, our whole-school enrichment programme provides shared experiences that spark curiosity, build cultural capital, and nurture character across all year groups.

Through themed curriculum weeks, visiting authors and workshops, charity days, assemblies, and outdoor learning, every child gets to experience something inspiring regardless of background or circumstance. Together, these moments help our pupils grow into confident, empathetic, and well-rounded young people.
