Activities Programme
There is an excellent range of clubs and activities offered each term, some old favourites such as chess, table tennis, drama, animation, fencing etc and lots of new ones for children to try as well. For the Spring Term we have a new gardening club, yoga, and press gang - a club to inspire budding journalists. At King Edward's Junior School we encourage everyone to challenge themselves to a new experience every term, after all you may surprise yourself and find it's the best club you ever did.
A number of activity days take place over the weekend, usually Saturday morning, these range from House Tournaments, special interest workshops on a number of different themes such art, cookery or cycle maintenance and every term there is a family activity such as a cycle ride or ramble.

Activities Week
One of the highlights of the school year is a residential trip which takes place during the Summer term. Year groups enjoy a few nights away from home taking part in team games or learning new skills such as kayaking or putting their French to good use on a trip to France.
