Westdene School External Clubs
Dear Parents
We are delighted to be able to confirm that B.A. Academy will be returning to Westdene Primary School from Monday 26 April!
As school facilities are currently being used for an after school club, we will be running our clubs at the nearby Ascension Church and The Barn. Both venues are within walking distance from the school so our coaches will be positioned at the venues 10 minutes prior to the year group collection times in high visibility jackets as markers for the students attending the clubs to follow. Each club will last for one hour and so Year 3 & 4 clubs will be from 14:55 to 15:55 and Year 5 & 6 clubs from 14:45 to 15:45 you will then be able to collect your children directly from the venue.
Venue 1 – Ascension Church – Mill Rise, Brighton BN1 5GS
Venue 2 – The Barn – Dene Vale, Brighton BN1 5ED
Our priority is keeping these clubs safe for the children and parents and for this reason all clubs will, for the first time ever, be run in year group bubbles. As well as minimising social mixing, feedback from others schools is that year group bubbles have been very popular with the children as they prefer to learn with kids in their age group.
The clubs times are as follows:
Monday – Musical/Theatre Dance (Year 3) at Ascension Church
Wednesday – Musical/Theatre Dance (Year 4) at Ascension Church
Thursday – Musical/Theatre Dance (Year 5) at Ascension Church
Thursday – Gymnastics (Year 3) at The Barn
Friday – Musical/Theatre Dance (Year 6) at Ascension Church
Friday – Gymnastics (Year 4) at The Barn
