We have lots of fun clubs in school and after school

Many people consider extra curricular clubs as "important extras", We feel offering children access to such experiences is an essential  not an extra. So we offer a wide range of clubs.

SPORTING

• Fit for fun for the infants.
• Football, Cricket, Netball for the Juniors.
• We use other Professionals to support our P.E curriculum.
• We take part in inter-school competitions in swimming, athletics, girls' and boys' football, cricket, rugby and netball. We are currently interschool champions for swimming and our girls' football team played twice at Bloomfield Road!!
• We have a very active sports Stacking Team and have twice sent children to represent Great Britain in the World Championships in America.

THE ARTS

• We have a large Junior Choir and a smaller Infant Choir.
• Junior children can learn to play recorders, brass or wind instruments.
• We have a art club and children take part in the Young Seasiders' Exhibition.
• Once a year we take the whole school to the Theatre to experience a live show.

ACADEMIC

• We have maths and computer clubs.
• We have a puzzle club designed to encourage children in logical thinking and investigations.
• We also run a study club so children can get extra help with tricky activities.

SOCIAL

• We have friendship groups and PALS (older children supporting the younger at playtimes).
• We run a Top Trumps club - helping children to co-operate, win or lose.

St. John's in Europe - Comenius

Comenius is a project that sets us apart from other Blackpool Primary Schools - we believe children should fully understand that we are part of one big world and so we have partner schools across Europe. We learn about each other's cultures and traditions, we email and write to each other, we learn a little of each language and our teachers visit the different countries to discover different teaching methods. We also welcome visitors from other countries to our school. It is this work that has earned us the International Schools Award.
