We are incredibly excited to announce a new extra-curricular activity for the children: ‘Go Kart Club’.

During the course of the club, children will learn how to re-build a real go-kart, change tyres, and learn about steering and how an engine works.  The club will be ‘hand-on’ each week and once we have managed to re-build the kart, we will all go to a local racetrack in Leicester and give each child an opportunity to drive their kart round the track.

This club is only open to children in Year 5 and only 6 children can take part at any one time.  If more than 6 children are interested, we will run the club again, giving everyone an opportunity to attend.

Parents will be required to attend the final track day and there will be a small charge for this.  No special equipment or clothing is required as it will all be provided.  As this is the first time we have run this club, it is difficult to anticipate when the first track day will be, but it will certainly be before the Easter holidays.  (Further details will be given to club members nearer the time).

We hope you agree this is a unique opportunity for our children (I don’t know of any other primary school offering this!) and I can’t wait to start working with them.  The club will run after school from 3:30-4:30pm on Fridays and will start on Friday 12^th January 2024. 

If you would like your child to take part, please book on ParentMail by midnight on Monday 18th December to give consent for your child to attend the after-school club.

If more than 6 children are interested, we will pull names out of a hat and start a waiting list.
