SCHOOL CLUBS AUTUMN TERM 2026
AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS TIMETABLE
At Elmstead Primary School, we believe in developing an extended curriculum outside of the classroom. We now have many different clubs that the children can join.
Whilst Elmstead Primary School is happy to share these opportunities with our parents/carers and pupils, we have no responsibility for them if they are provided by third parties.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the office team.
