Clubs

Please see the clubs page on the website here about the clubs available offering extra curricular opportunities for children.  All clubs start w/c 15th September.  Please book on to clubs in good time so that registers can be prepared for teachers and club leaders.  Please note that both choir and gardening club are now full and we will keep a waiting list. 

Little Musketeers

We are super excited to bring Little Musketeers to Holy Trinity CofE Primary. 

Our sessions begin on Friday 19^th September at 7:45am and there is still time left to book on!

Little Musketeers offers a fun, safe and educational environment for young children to learn the sport of fencing. What child has not grown up pretending to be a swashbuckling pirate, a duelling Musketeer, or even the master of swordplay himself, Zorro? Why do they do it? Because it’s fun! 

Little Musketeers provide bright coloured foam and plastic foils and plastic masks with mesh visors that are safe and yet hard enough to give children the real feel of fencing. We ensure visors are worn at all times giving peace of mind as well as that genuine fencing experience. 

Classes are designed and managed by Olympic fencer and 4 times British National Champion James Beevers. All staff are DBS checked, First Aid certified and trained personally by James. 

This term’s course will focus on building your child’s self-confidence as well as working on their hand, eye and feet co-ordination! Once the course is completed, they will be awarded with the Green term wristband. Children can wear school uniform or PE kit to the sessions; whichever is more convenient for their day ahead.

We hope you can join us for our 12-week course as follows: 

 • Friday 19th September - Friday 12th December 2025 / 07:45 - 08:30 / Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6 

 The cost for the course will be £96.00 per child. If your child would like to sign up for this course, please visit:

https://bookings.littlemusketeers.com/

 Once there, follow the instructions to complete your booking online. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
