Clubs
Queen Eleanor’s offers a wide range of extra-curricular clubs which are enjoyed by a great many of the pupils. We try to ensure that they run before, during and after school and at a reasonable cost so that all children have the opportunity to benefit from them. A full list for the term is given below.

Club Timetable Autumn Term 2025
Clubs are open to all children, girls and boys, in all year groups, unless stated otherwise in the details.
Bookings, consent and notifying absence:
All clubs require booking and consent via Scopay. Once booked, a child has made a commitment to attend the club for the term (or half term, depending on the club). It is important that children remain committed to a club even if it is free of charge. These clubs are run by volunteers who are giving up their time and it is only right that the children respect this by attending regularly. If your child no longer wishes to attend a club, please let us know so that we may offer the place to someone else.
If your child will not be attending a club on a particular day, please email the office so they can let the relevant club leader know and amend any collection arrangements.
Most clubs can be joined part way through a term if there are available spaces. To do this, first check availability with the office and fill out your consent on Scopay.
You will be notified of the date and time when club bookings for the term ahead will open.
Behaviour:
As always, we expect the highest standard of behaviour from children attending clubs. If a child is behaving inappropriately and spoiling things for other participants, their parents will be contacted. If the behaviour continues the child will be asked to leave the club.
Lunchtime clubs
When a club runs during a lunchtime it may be necessary for a child to go into lunch early. If this is the case they simply go to the hall and tell the midday supervisor on duty that they have a lunchtime club.
Occasionally clubs run at the beginning of the lunchtime. In this case the child needs to go to the office and sign up for a late lunch, before they go to the club. A lunch will then be kept for them.
Cancellation of clubs:
If we have to cancel a club before 3.15pm we will email you and ask that you telephone or email the school office to provide us with alternative end of day arrangements.
After School Swimming - Pool reopens Summer term 2026
When?
After school swimming runs from May to the end of the summer term, weather permitting.
Permission slips, Notifying Absence and Cost:
Children can only attend if they have signed up on Scopay and it is imperative that the office is notified if a child will not be attending after-school swimming for whatever reason. The cost of after school swimming is covered by the annual voluntary contribution for swimming paid by parents at the beginning of each school year. However if parents decided not to make that contribution then their child is not eligible for after school swimming.
Weather:
After school swimming continues in most weather conditions although occasionally the teacher on duty will decide that the weather really isn’t suitable (for example when it is unduly cold or in a thunderstorm). Normal cancellation procedures will apply if the club is cancelled prior to 3.15pm. If the club is stopped mid-session, the children will be supervised until 4pm by the teacher in charge.
Year Group:
Years 3 and 4
Years 5 and 6
Goggles:
Children can wear swimming goggles in the pool. Goggles must fit correctly and any adjustments must be made at home prior to them coming into school as the PE Coach will not have time to do this during swimming sessions. All goggles must be named (we suggest using a permanent marker on the side of the goggles) and it is the responsibility of the children to look after their goggles at all times. Please note that Surrey County Council advice is that any child who wears contact lenses is unable to wear goggles at school.
