School Clubs

At Great Sankey Primary School, we offer a wide range of enrichment activities that we believe cater for every age and interest and reflect our commitment in developing children at GSP into confident individuals with their own interests.

We encourage every child to try our after school or lunchtime clubs as we believe many of these can lead to life-long hobbies and passions. Our staff give their time freely so the majority of our clubs are free of charge - we just ask for a contribution towards the resources for some art-based clubs.

Here is a list of the enrichment opportunities that are on offer during the Summer Term 2026:

Summer Term 1

We also have keyboard lessons on Tuesdays with Mary and Dance Club with Miss Hewitson all year.

At the beginning of each half term, the overview of clubs for the children across the school is sent home in a letter and parents return the slip to express an interest. Slips are then sent home to confirm each child's attendance. If the club was over-subscribed, lists are generated randomly ensuring a fair mix of age and gender.

WHAT'S ON OFFER?

We offer a wide variety of clubs across a range of interests that our staff kindly offer after school and during lunchtimes. Next term we have a brand new Dance club for KS1 and a Darts club for Upper KS2 and with the weather improving and the sun shining (we hope!) some old outdoor favourites: Athletics for our Key Stage 1 children and Cross Country, Cricket, Girls' Football, Rounders and Atheltics Club for our KS2 children 

SPORT TOURNAMENTS

We offer a wide variety of sport based clubs throughout the school year and when possible enter a linked sport competition. We generally select the teams from the children who have committed to the weekly training sessions and so far this year we have entered competitions in the following sports:

football, rugby, cross country, athletics

We are so proud of all the children who have represented GSP - they all gave 100% and gained some fabulous results.

PERFORMANCES

In addition to sporting competitions, we often get involved in a variety of performances in Warrington. In the Autumn term a group of children across KS2 performed a dance rountine during half time at one of the World Cup Rugby matches at Halliwell Jones Stadium. They loved the experience and we were pleased to be able to offer another opportunity to our children.

Our School choir have lots of performance opportunities throughout the school year, with three major events at the Parr Hall in Warrington - one per term. The children rehearse throughout the school year and it is wonderful to see their singing talents improve alongside their confidence and self-belief. We are very proud of their commitment to the club and how well they represent our school. They sound fantastic!

SCHOOL TRIPS & VISITORS

Alongside all our enrichment clubs, competitions and performances, school also facilitates many school trips throughout the year to support and enhance the children's curriculum learning as well as vistiors coming into school to delver a variety of workshops. In addition, we always get out into our local community whenever we can.

Our children in Years 2, 4 and 6 also enjoy residential trips with their classmates each year.

Year 2 visit Tattenhall, Y4 visit Anglesey and Y6 spend three days exploring London. Three very different but valuable, memorable experiences offered to all the children at GSP.
