Clubs

Care Clubs— our before and after school and holiday provision— enhances our partnership with families and places us at the heart of the community. Our services provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment beyond the classroom, ensuring continuity of care and learning. By supporting parents’ diverse needs and offering pupils additional opportunities for social interaction, creative play, and personal development, our Care Clubs foster a strong sense of belonging and wellbeing. This extended provision strengthens community ties, promotes inclusive engagement, and reinforces our commitment to holistic support for every child and family connected to our school.
