Wraparound Care

Breakfast Club: Yes After-School Care: Yes

After-school care is provided on site by Aktiva Camps. Children are collected from the playground at the end of the school day and escorted to the school hall. There are various session lengths to choose from, and prices vary accordingly. To use this service you must register with Aktiva Camps, and then all bookings must be made through them. Morning club runs from 7:30am and after-school care until 6pm (as part of wraparound care).

SEND Provision

SEND provisions are coordinated by the school's SENCO who works with all teachers to identify needs early and assess which interventions or specialist support is required. The school follows the Assess, Plan, Do, Review model to monitor progress and tailor support. Pupils with additional needs receive high-quality teaching input and may work on different targets; the school also lists a Resource Base (ASD) with a Head of Provision and additional support staff, and provides Place2be counsellors and early help resources.
