Club Registration

  • Tetherdown club providers: Registration is required for each new term for extra-curricular clubs run by Tetherdown. These clubs are identified in our published timetable.  Parents will be contacted in the previous term for registration for the next term. Only choir, orchestra and jazz band (by invite) do not need to re-register in the spring and summer terms as these clubs are a commitment for the academic year starting in September.
  • External club providers: For club registration and information about clubs run by our external providers, please contact them directly. Contact details can be found in the published club timetable.

Club Cancellation and Catch-Up Club Information

Club Cancellation and Catch-up classes

  • If your child's extracurricular club at the end of the school day is cancelled by the provider, parents are advised to make alternative pick-up arrangements for their child and to notify the school office via email of the new arrangement no later than 2:45pm. Parents should not assume that the Tetherdown after-school club can take their child following a club cancellation if they cannot make alternative pick-up arrangements. 

  • Children who normally attend the Tetherdown after-school club directly after the cancelled extracurricular club (e.g. tennis) can go straight to after-school club at the end of the school day, however you will be charged accordingly for this session via ParentPay.

  • Catch-up classes will be rearranged where possible for club cancellations and typically take place at the end of the term in which the club was cancelled. The catch-up club timetable is uploaded to this page at the end.

Camps run at Tetherdown are geared towards offering a wide range of sports, physical activities and games to children between the ages of 5-11. Children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports and activities.
