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. 

 

Breakfast Club runs from 7.45 until the start of school.

We offer: 

Bread/Toast

Dairy-free spread, Jams, Honey, Marmite, Marmalade and once a week biscoff.

Chocolate Brioche and occasionally Croissants and Pain au Chocolat

Fromage Frais

Cereals – Rice Snaps, Choco Snaps, Red Fruits Special Flakes, Blueberry Wheat and Shredded Wheat 

A good selection of fruit

If there is something you would prefer your child not to have or there is something they prefer, then please contact us to see what we can do.

We also have a selection of activities of which Lego is the most popular.

Teatime Tigers sessions are from 3.20pm until 5.20pm, or if you only need an hour, then 3.20pm until 4.20pm.  If your child is doing another afterschool activity,  then they can join us for the last hour.

Toast and a selection of fruit for snacks are available.

We try and spend as much time outside as possible, making use of the school grounds, so as the weather gets cooler, please make sure your children have coats.  We tend to only stay in when it's dark, icy, very wet or just too cold.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do.

Kind Regards
