There are a huge variety of clubs in our locality which offer our pupils a huge variety of ways to keep active outside of school. We recently conducted a survey to see what clubs our senior pupils are part of. The results of this survey proved to us just how active our students are! They also showed us which sports and clubs are most popular among our senior pupils. In addition, this survey highlights the sheer variety of clubs available locally which might serve to inspire some of our students to join a new club in 2021!

Miscellaneous included Boys Brigade, Irish Dancing, golf and skittles.
