Wanted! - Volunteers to run extra-curricular clubs

At a recent school council meeting the children requested more clubs, especially 'hobby' clubs rather than the sporting and musical clubs offered by staff. Are there any parents who might be able to assist? The children's suggestions included - a cookery club, a board games club and a sewing club. Mrs Culverhouse will be running a Cookery club after Christmas - details to follow.
