Cradlehall Primary is the largest primary school in the Culloden Cluster so when it comes to running after school clubs there are usually large class sizes. In the past year the Inverness Shinty Club has made a huge impression by introducing regular sessions every week to all ages within the school. This club has now expanded in to a cluster club run from Culloden Academy on a Wednesday evening. The opportunities for youngsters by having a club involved with the school has been immense allowing them to participate in school competitions and club events. Moving forward it would be great to expand this model in to other sports and activities within the school.
