Wolverhampton Grammar School’s campus is currently closed to students, parents and visitors. The School continues to provide childcare support for vulnerable children and children of key workers. We continue to follow government guidance and our students continue to learn from home for as long as restrictions remain.

Extra and Co-curricular

Learning shouldn’t be confined to a classroom. Venturing outside to explore the natural world is a great way for children to grow in confidence and to learn new life skills. At School, there are lots of opportunities to do just that, including clubs, societies, sports activities and residentials.

Wolverhampton Grammar Junior School offers the largest range of Extra and Co-curricular activities on offer for children of all year groups. From Lego Club, Judo, Chess Club to Gardening – there is something for everyone to try.

Use the calendar to get a taste of how busy our School is or download the list of extra-curricular activities taking place here.  There really is something for everyone.

Children can also choose to stay for a supervised Homework Club or Late Club providing an opportunity for children to talk through any areas of work with a member of staff, complete homework or even just wind down from a busy day.

Autumn Term 2020 Activities

Even with “bubble” restrictions in place, we still want to ensure every child has the opportunity to get involved and try something in addition to their day to day lessons at School. Just because we can’t offer our usual 100+ clubs and activities – doesn’t mean you can’t try something new!

View the timetable provided in this booklet to find out what School clubs are happening during the Autumn Term or visit our club and sports fixture listings on the School website here.

Current students and parents can also find club calendars on the Firefly student and parent portals.

All the School clubs listed are available before School, lunchtime or after School.

Take the Residential Challenge

All children in the Junior School have an annual opportunity to have a residential stay at a range of the very best outdoor and historical locations.

Our overnight trips start from as young as Year 3. Residential stays allow children to develop greater independence and confidence. For many, a residential trip may be the first time a child has been away from home and we work closely with parents to ensure this is a positive and fun experience.

Children in Year 3 take a walk on the wild side enjoying a residential stay at Laches Wood in Staffordshire. Children spend two nights in the log cabins and dormitory accommodation.

Year 4 children spend two nights exploring local historical attractions at Blackwell Court, near Bromsgrove as well as enjoying outward bound opportunities on site.

Year 5 spend two nights at the historic Shugborough Estate in Staffordshire and are the only year group to camp outside as part of their residential experience. Children get the opportunity to enjoy canoeing, BMX riding, orienteering and abseiling.

Year 6 students spend a whole week at Towers in Snowdonia National Park, Wales. Activities range of gorge walking to mountain climbing in the snow – a real life changing experience.
