The Good Schools Guide

After-School Clubs for Schools

As teachers ourselves, we know how limited time there is to plan a high quality after-school club.

Our after-school club packages contain ready-to-deliver clubs, created by teachers, for teachers. Each club contains high quality, ready-made slideshow lessons, with supporting resources. No planning is required! Each lesson is designed to take 1 hour. They are ideal clubs to run throughout a school half or full term. As the clubs are designed to be delivered by in-house teachers, schools have the flexibility to choose when to run the club, how many children will participate and how much they will charge parents. Our creative writing clubs are aligned with the UK National Curriculum.

They can also be used during small-group literacy intervention classes, as well as within whole class English lessons.

All our packages include:

  • Simple guidance on how to deliver the courses;
  • PDF adverts for parents.
  • Support (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm).

Launching: September 2025.

* Please note that our main drive for working with schools is to support and motivate children with writing. Therefore, we will always be open to negotiating a price for our school clubs which would work within each school’s budget. Please contact us directly to discuss this further.

Bright Light Clubs

Our Bright Light Clubs focus on developing children’s literacy skills, through creative writing and reading comprehension. Each club is different; some focus on elevating children’s self-expression and imagination; some focus on improving writing skills; some develop reading comprehension and some clubs focus purely on the art of storytelling.

Creative Writing Competition
I have been teaching the Bright Light Education courses in creative writing and comprehension for almost three years now. From a teacher’s perspective, the courses could not be easier to teach: all the high quality resources (both Google Slides and worksheets) are provided, whilst the materials are very user-friendly. Alongside this, the lessons are well-structured and run very systematically, allowing teachers to work their way through the lessons well and with clarity. 
 
In terms of the children, they always have fun and enjoy the lessons. They approach the activities with great enthusiasm and are eager to do their very best. By the end of the course, the children have made progress and have grown in confidence and skill. 
 
The lesson activities are varied, but there is a consistent structure to each lesson, which offers the children a regularity that helps them to feel comfortable and relaxed rather than daunted and overwhelmed.
 
I would definitely recommend the courses!
Teacher

Thank you very much for allowing me access to your course last year. I used it with a range of SEND students in KS3 to try and improve their vocabulary and use of writing techniques. I decided to use the colour-coding so that students would recognise if they were using all the techniques or too much of one. I bought sets of pens and this helped the students to recall what the terms of the techniques were. It also helped us to annotate texts with techniques when we noticed them in our reading lessons.
I found:
– Students enjoyed the variety of starting activities and engaged positively. The synonyms seemed to be well embedded.
– They enjoyed creating their images in the circle of each sheet and felt proud of their work. Some students asked to take photos to show their parents.
– Having timings helped focus the students.
– I liked the framework for writing provided to students and the way that previously taught skills and techniques were revisited and build upon.
As I work with SEND students, retaining information can be a challenge but I definitely think that the repeated exposure to the visual techniques helped. I would definitely use it again. Thank you.
