Hello, I’m Andrea I currently facilitate the arts n crafts after school classes at Woodberry Down School. Children will engage in creating different projects using many different techniques that will stimulate their creative imaginations and develop creative skills. The classes will build a strong foundation of skill and dexterity which will lead towards reaching a goal of creating a project of their own.

We provide a safe and controlled environment for the children to learn not only the art of boxing but also to access the benefits that come with it. Coach Ash - a former pupil of Woodberry Down Community School, comes from a Boxing background and is currently a Level 3 Personal Trainer. He uses he’s experience in coaching juniors and professional skill to deliver and build a fun, interactive club.

The benefits of boxing:

• Increases motor skills such as balance, coordination, speed, agility and overall movement key to everyday living.
• Improves cardio level for a healthier heart and lungs.
• Provides a better self-defence.
• A form of controlled expression for the children.

Our Non-Contact Boxing requires a high level of respect from the children for the coach and each other, we practice listening, assisting and trusting one and other in each session which provides a newly found dimension of thoughtfulness and awareness amongst the group that can be used in everyday life.

Spence of Excellence is a bespoke company which provides a range of sports for all Primary aged children of mixed abilities. The gymnastics club is run to aid and facilitate in the not only the children’s development in that sport but also socially.

Children will learn a range of new skills, as well as develop on those they already have in a safe, creative and expressive environment. There is a real focus around agility, balance and coordination, these skills will allow the children to excel in P.E and sports in general as they progress through their education.

Little Musketeers is an exciting club inspired by the Olympic sport of fencing. Our engaging and varied programmes appeal to a child’s sense of play and are taught in a fun, safe and educational environment. What child has not grown up pretending to be a swashbuckling pirate, a duelling musketeer, or even the master of swordplay himself, Zorro? Why do they do it? Because it’s fun!

Classes are designed and managed by Olympian and 4 time British Champion James Beevers. All our coaches are trained personally by James and hold enhanced DBS certificates. Little Musketeers are proud to be internationally endorsed by Olympians, educators and scientists from across the world. All equipment is either plastic or foam and gives children the real feel of fencing. All of our sessions will be run in accordance to the school’s Covid-19 regulations. Our equipment is sanitised before and after each session and where possible, children will be designated their own mask and sword for each session. Furthermore, we feel fencing is the perfect Covid-19 sport - you wear masks and, if anyone gets too close, you lunge!
