The children get the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in the end of year music concert. There is a charge for these lessons and the School Office has details of these teachers.

Joining a club and charges

It is very easy to join one of our clubs – collect a form from the teacher who runs the club or the School Office and return the signed permission slip to the teacher or the School Office. 

Please let the teacher or School Office know if your child cannot come to the club one week or wishes to stop coming to the club. This helps us keep our club registers accurate. 

The majority of our clubs are run by the staff at Devonshire Primary School and are free of charge.  In order to provide such an extensive list of extra curricular activities, a small number of our clubs are organised by external agencies who may have a small charge for their club. These clubs include disco fit, chess, French, Mrs Stearman’s art club, street dance club and Taekwondo club.  Details of the peripatetic music teachers' charges are available by contacting them directly.
