Extra Curricular Activities

To further enrich their lives at the Academy, children are encouraged to participate in extra curricular activates. Such activities vary from year to year but normally include football, rugby, hockey, netball, gymnastics and athletics, gardening, film making, art, dance, drama, chess and choir. The Academy provides access to a peripatetic clarinet and saxophone teacher if parents/carers wish to buy extra music lessons. Most activities take place after the Academy day. Children may be asked to contribute a small fee towards the cost of providing materials for these activities.

Sporting Aims

Children at Oasis Academy Clarksfield are encouraged to participate in a variety of sporting activities ranging from gymnastics, dance, and small ball games to team games such as netball, football and rounders. From Year 4 onwards children attend swimming lessons.

Whilst urging the children to do their best at all times, we also believe that children should learn to enjoy taking part and that winning is not the only mark of achievement.

The Academy is a member of the Sports Development Programme and benefits from participating in a range of local organised competitions.

“Tremendous Tuesdays!”

At Clarksfield, we believe that is important to provide all our children a range of experiences in addition to our curriculum offer. To ensure children can benefit from extra-curricular activities all Teachers as well as several Learning Support Assistants run an after-school club every Tuesday. This enables us to offer every child within our academy a range of after school clubs all year round.

Each half term children can select a club, so they are able to try a range of different activities across the year. The offer of clubs changes across the year, with the aim being that children are able to meet as many of the statements of the ‘Clarksfield Pledge’ as possible and are able to learn and develop a range of new skills.
