KS3 Coding Club and KS3 Esports Club

Every Thursday from 3:15pm – 4:15pm, students are invited to take part in our exciting KS3 Coding Club and KS3 Esports Club, which take place in IT5 and IT6. These sessions are run by Mrs Kennedy and Mr Slane and provide a fantastic opportunity for students to develop new digital skills, work collaboratively, and explore their interests in technology.

The Coding Club gives students the opportunity to develop their programming skills through engaging and creative activities. Students can learn how to design games and animations using Scratch, begin exploring Python programming, and build confidence in computational thinking and problem solving. These sessions support students who are interested in developing their coding knowledge beyond the classroom while gaining valuable digital skills for the future.

The Esports Club provides students with the opportunity to take part in competitive and collaborative gaming in a positive and structured environment. Students can compete in Rocket League, work together in Minecraft Education, and develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, strategy, and sportsmanship.

Both clubs have already created fantastic opportunities for students to develop new skills, build confidence, and build positive relationships with other students who share similar interests in technology and gaming.

All KS3 students are welcome, and we encourage anyone interested in coding, gaming, or digital technology to join us every Thursday from 3:15pm – 4:15pm in IT5 and IT6.
