Club Central

Winning an OSCA is the most prestigious award an out-of-school club can win. It won't be easy to win. But it will be fair. The judges read every entry. They don't settle until they are confident they have made the best decision. clubcentral.org

You have got just 7 days to submit entries for the OSCAs. These are the most prestigious award an out-of-school club can win. 10 categories from overall club to individual staff and best practice in mental health, inclusion, HAF and play. clubcentral.org

We are delighted that Morton Michel have signed up as a gold sponsor of the Club Central conference. And, Morton Michel are sponsoring the Out of School Club of the Year Group Setting OSCA for the second consecutive year. Thank you Morton Michel!

We are delighted Out of School Alliance is supporting the Club Central Conference again. OOSA has increased its sponsorship and in addition to being a gold conference sponsor, they are sponsoring Play Setting Award AND are headline sponsors of the OSCAs Awards ceremony.

When we work together, we are stronger. The more we work together, the stronger we are. The more we are defined as a sector. And the more we are recognised as a sector, the more we are a valued. And the more we are valued, the stronger we are.

For people working in Out-of-School, the sector has come under more intense scrutiny than ever before. Those of us who bemoaned we were forgotten might give a wry smile about how easy times were when there was little focus. Club Central aims to achieve a positive outcome for all.
