Forces Club at Clanfield Junior School

At Clanfield Junior School, we are proud to support our pupils and families connected to the Armed Forces. We recognise that being part of a Forces family can bring both pride and unique challenges — especially when loved ones are away from home.

Our children who have a parent serving in the Armed Forces have their very own Forces Club, led by Mrs Hannah. The club provides a safe, welcoming space where children can spend time with others who share similar experiences. It’s a place to talk, listen, and connect — and to take part in creative activities that celebrate their resilience and pride in their families.

To strengthen that important sense of belonging, our Forces children meet regularly and enjoy a range of special experiences together, including trips, projects, and themed events. These activities help them build confidence, make new friends, and know that they are valued members of our school community.

At Clanfield, we want every child to feel seen, supported, and proud of who they are — and our Forces Club is just one of the many ways we make sure that happens.

 

 

 

 

A team building visit to QE park was a firm favourite for our Forces children!

Other pupils join in with school wide events, such as Forces day and VE day:

Look out for our forces children, as they will be proudly wearing their new Forces Club sweatshirts:
