We are also here to support the needs of our parents and carers and ensure they have a stress-free morning without any concerns regarding dropping off your child/children before you go to work or picking them up after work or college.

After school is a time for play and enjoyment, teamed with great arts and craft with enjoyable team activities to ensure children can socialise and learn in a warm, friendly environment. Children also have some time with their friends to explore new ideas not necessarily available during school time.
