Afterschool Clubs
Afterschool Clubs
At Oswald Road, we have a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs on offer. Please see below drop down sections for the list of clubs currently available and the contact details for each club, along with FAQs.
Please take care to direct any queries to the right email address to ensure they are dealt with promptly.
If your child attends a club run by an external provider, please ensure you email them directly with any pick-up messages or absences.
In addition to our regular clubs, teachers may also run their own clubs from time to time. These are free to attend and sign up is usually via a short Google Form. Any information will be sent via School Spider.
