Enrichment Programme


At John Masefield, we know how important it is to develop students’ experience of the world, cultural capital, character and sense of adventure. For this reason, John Masefield follow an enrichment programme that supports and develops their character in line with our expectation that students aspire to be the best they can be. In order to empower them to become happy and successful in life, education and employment.

If your young person would like to take part in any of these exciting opportunities, during the autumn term, then please sign up your child via MCAS. A guide to signing your child up to a club can be found below and booking  attached and booking is open from 3pm on Wednesday 11th September 2024.

Furthermore, if your child would like to participate in a sports club then they should bring their PE kit to school, where they will have the opportunity to change.

In the event a club or activity is cancelled, a message will be sent to all parents/guardians via MCAS email and students will be informed at the earliest convenience. If students are unable to travel home, then we ask students to head straight to Student Services where contact will be made with their parent/guardian. If contact is unable to be made, Homework club will host students until they are able to access their transport.

All extra-curricular clubs and activities will end at 4.25pm, and we ask that parents and guardians arrange transport home with their child. In the event that you are unable to collect your child, or that you need to change the travel arrangements, we ask that you ring reception as soon as possible to inform them of this.

We do take a register of all students who attend, however, we do not have the capacity to inform you of whether or not your child has attended the club or activity. Still, if you would like to check if your child is in attendance at a specific club or activity, you may ring Reception on 01531 631012.

All clubs and activities will start on Monday 16th September 2024, and students will be able to participate in these until Thursday 12th December. In addition, you will receive a new enrichment programme for the spring term in January.

There will be a variety of different activities throughout the rest of the year as part of the enrichment programme and students will be informed of these new and exciting opportunities throughout the school year.
