Clubs
Wraparound Club is onsite, run by teaching assistants who know the children and their needs well. It is available before school from 8.00-9.00 every day, and from 3.15-5.00 on an evening (4.30 on a Friday). In summer 2024, the school consulted parents regarding extending Wraparound hours; the results suggested that there is not currently the demand for extended hours, however it will be reviewed annually. If parents wish to be signposted to providers who offer childcare beyond 5pm please contact the School Office. At the club the children have the opportunity to relax, take part in games, arts, crafts and even be supported with their learning. Booking form and Wraparound Policy are available.
