Children form good relationships with staff and each other. They show good humour and giggle, for example, as their friends run halfway before turning back during relay games.

n Leaders have high expectations of their staff and children who attend. They promote effective communication and a shared approach with school teaching staff. This supports staff who deliver club sessions to take account of children's individual needs. For example, a two-way flow of information helps club staff to adapt dance sessions as they consider children's skills and abilities. n Staff receive effective support. Leaders arrange training, review club sessions and liaise with senior school staff. This helps staff to deliver inclusive, welcoming and consistent sessions for children. At times, staff would benefit from additional resourcing, such as extra staff. This would allow them to better meet the needs of some children who attend. Nonetheless, staff skilfully support children to engage well in all activities, overall. n Staff support the physical well-being of children well. They use their knowledge
