Please click on the link below to see the timetable of before-school/lunchtime/after-school clubs that we will be offering at Birchwood Grove this year. Please note that these will hopefully be added to throughout the year, and the timetable updated accordingly.
Please contact the school office should you have any questions regarding clubs.
Netball
Netball is hugely popular at Birchwood Grove, and we have a proud history of success throughout the years! One of our most recent honours came in 2018, where our A Team took part in the Mid Sussex Area Tournament, finishing 3rd! They did Birchwood Grove extremely proud and exhibited great sportsmanship and teamwork throughout the tournament. The popularity is such that we often field 3 teams, in both friendly matches against local schools, and local and regional tournaments against schools from further afield.
KS2 Netball club is run by Miss Whinder on a Tuesday after-school from 3.15pm - 4.15 p.m.
There will also be extra Netball squad sessions as and when required.
