At Burnside Primary School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. We run a vibrant, varied range of extra-curricular clubs for pupils from Year 1 through to Year 6 before school, at lunchtime, and after school.

Our club timetable changes each term to offer a balanced selection of creative, active, and leadership activities. We ensure there is something to inspire every child, encouraging them to discover new passions, build confidence, and thrive, achieve, and belong.

Leadership & Enrichment Opportunities

We offer a range of student leadership and interest-based clubs that empower pupils to take an active role in school life and the wider community:

• Art Champions: Nurturing artistic talent, leading creative school projects, and celebrating visual arts across our school environment.

• Digital Leaders: Developing digital literacy, online safety awareness, and tech skills across the school.

• Eco-Warriors: Driving environmental projects, sustainability initiatives, and caring for our school grounds.

• Reading Champions: Fostering a love for literature through shared reading, book reviews, and library projects.

• School Ambassadors: Representing Burnside Primary School at official events and welcoming visitors.

• Sports Leaders: Organising active playground games and promoting healthy, active lifestyles among peers.

Partnership & External Specialist Provision

To broaden horizons and give pupils access to specialist coaching and competitive opportunities, we work in close partnership with local schools and expert external providers:

• Cramlington Partnership: We collaborate with neighboring primary and secondary schools to organize inter-school sports competitions, festivals, and collaborative learning events.

• Kokoro Karate: Delivering structured martial arts sessions that build physical fitness, discipline, and self-confidence.

• Andrew Cartwright Football Coaching: Providing professional, high-energy football coaching focused on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

• MW Music: Offering engaging musical opportunities that nurture creativity and instrumental skills.

Information about each term's club offerings, booking details, and timings is sent out to parents and carers ahead of every new term via the school office.
