At Batheaston, the organisation of the teaching week has been modified to fit into 4 ½ days. The start/finish times of the day have been very slightly altered and the lunchtime period shortened. In this way, we have built on research that demonstrates how academic learning tends to be more successful during the first part of the day. We have also cut down the lunchtime break, which, for some, was felt to be a long time (particularly in cold and wet weather). A whole programme of exciting clubs is now established, currently including: Art with Heart, Fun and the Bible, Yoga, Indian Art, Cookery, Pottery, Drama, Being and Artist, Dance, Taste of Art, Journalism, Cinema Club, Sign Language, Steel Pans, Drum Fun.

Sports coaching is also available, currently Basketball and Football.

Many activities are free of charge apart from an initial contribution of £1.50 towards administration costs, but parents also have the choice of their children attending clubs with a small charge to cover the cost of the specialist teacher and/or materials (e.g. Basketball at £10 per term; Drum Fun at £15 per term). For lots of parents, this will enable their children to receive sports coaching during a weekday session, and thus save them from using weekend or evening time for this purpose. School swimming sessions have also been moved to Wednesday afternoons, thus avoiding children missing lesson times for this learning.

Because the Wednesday afternoon workshops are not official school time, children do not have to attend school during this session. Parents can take their children home or on outings from 1.00pm - or arrange dental or doctor appointments for this time, in the knowledge that they won’t be missing any lessons. There is a very careful registration and procedure for notifying the school if a child is given permission by parents to leave the school on a Wednesday afternoon.

For the class teachers, Wednesday afternoons are no longer part of their teaching week. They will usually spend this time in team planning and preparation with colleagues of a similar teaching age group. This will be advantageous for them, enabling them to reduce the amount of evening and weekend time spent in this way.

The Headteacher or Deputy will normally be on site, and either the KS1 or KS2 teachers will remain in school to work together on their planning. In this way, should it ever be needed, there is additional adult support available. The workshop programme is, however, fully staffed by members of the school team and supervised by the Workshop Co-ordinator, Sheena Tavendale. Community volunteers, parents and artists/specialists (all of whom have completed necessary CRB police checks and first aid courses etc.) also lead activities.
