Page update: 28/03/2023

Summer Term 2023 (beginning 24th April 2023)

At Platt Bridge Community School, we believe that extra-curricular activities are fundamental in the development of children. They boost children’s confidence to interact and provide them with new skills and abilities for later life. Additionally, they offer children an opportunity to have fun and relax outside of the school day normally operating 15:30 to 16:30.
