St John's Walham Green CE Primary School After School Club
A fun and safe introduction to martial arts at St John's Walham Green CE Primary School. We run two clubs this Autumn term: a KS2 club on Mondays (first session Monday 7th September 2026) and a KS1 club on Fridays (first session Friday 4th September 2026), both 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM.
About This Club
Welcome to the St John's Walham Green CE Primary School After School Taekwondo Club — held right at your child's school, making martial arts accessible and convenient for busy families.
This Autumn term we are running two separate clubs: a Key Stage 2 club every Monday (first session Monday 7th September 2026) and a Key Stage 1 club every Friday (first session Friday 4th September 2026), both from 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM. Classes are designed to help children of all abilities stay active, learn self-control, and develop confidence through the practice of Taekwondo. Led by experienced, DBS-checked instructors, each class combines fun with structured learning in a safe, supportive environment.
Whether your child is a complete beginner or has some martial arts experience, they'll find a welcoming space to grow, make friends, and challenge themselves positively.
Benefits for Students
Builds Focus & Respect
Taekwondo teaches children to listen carefully, follow instructions, and show respect to teachers and peers — skills that transfer directly to the classroom.
Improves Coordination & Balance
Through kicks, stances, and movement drills, children develop body awareness, coordination, and balance that benefit them in all physical activities.
Promotes Discipline & Perseverance
Learning martial arts requires practice and patience. Children learn to set goals, work hard, and celebrate progress — building a growth mindset.
Boosts Confidence
As children master new skills and earn belt promotions, their self-esteem grows. They learn to believe in themselves and their abilities.
