Extra-Curricular Directory
Use this directory to get an overview of the clubs, groups and activities on offer at Nailsea School. Not all of the clubs run all of the year - so it’s important to check with
the contact about when and where they are running. Extra-Curriculum clubs are a great way to meet new friends, try new things and explore your passion outside of the
classroom.
Keep an eye out on student noticeboards as new groups, clubs and activities are introduced throughout the year - depending on what the demand is. If you’ve got an idea
or a suggestion—why not share it with a member of staff?
