Archibald First School, Gosforth, Newcastle Upone Tyne | Having fun, achieving excellence

School Clubs 

The clubs are available to the children in the stated year groups and letters will be sent out providing more information.

Please note that due to high demand for the clubs, you will receive a text confirming if your child has a place at the club. Names are always selected anonymously and at random making the selection criteria as fair as possible. The school office keeps a list of all children who applied for a club for instances of children no longer wishing to take part or if the club is run again later in the year.
