Our school offers Breakfast and After-School Wrap-Around Childcare to all pupils admitted into the school.

Parents are required to book and pay via their Scopay App. Parents are able to pre-book places right up until the night before the date required.

We have approx. 30 spaces for each session. 

AM Session drops off at 07:45-School Start time. This includes a choice of breakfast cereals/toast/fruit and is charged at £6.75  per child per AM session.  Please enter via the green door in Class 4. The children have their breakfast in Class 3.

PM Session collects directly from school (near class 1 gate). There is provision for a one-or two-hour session. The first is 3.20pm-4.20pm and the second hour is 4.20pm until 5.20pm. This includes a light snack. School-run after-school clubs will cost £6.00 for an hour's session. A child may attend a club of choice for the first hour after school and then go on to the general childcare club option for the second hour. The cost is the same. Please choose 1 or two hours when booking.
