Schoolfriend extra offers a team of specialist instructors who work with children across the country to provide them with unforgettable experiences.

Schoolfriend extra staff have proven track records of high teaching standards and qualifications in a wide range of activities. Not only do they run sessions including art, drama, music, sport, gardening and cookery, but they also train the permanent staff in every Schoolfriend Club to enhance all their activities.

The workshops are run in all the Schoolfriend Clubs across the UK, for no additional charge to the cost of attending the club itself. Workshops are also offered directly to schools and local authorities.

All workshops are linked to the National Curriculum and can be adapted to suit children aged between four and eleven. They are designed to give children the chance to participate in activities that they are unlikely to be involved in either at school or home. The workshops aim to help children develop their imagination, improve their communication skills and build their confidence.

The Schoolfriend extra workshops are split into the following categories:

1. Drama:Role-play, acting out stories, creating original plots or adapting fairy tales and real-life events including mime, improvisation, song and dance.
2. Arts and Crafts:Drawing, painting, sculpting, designing and crafting; responding to the world around and getting a taste of the work of other artists.
3. Sport:Fun activities based on team sports such as rugby, Unihoc, basketball, tennis, football and exercise to music.
4. Additional extras:Specialist activities such as gardening, cookery, music, dance, design and technology.
