Breakfast & After School Club
We offer Breakfast Club from 7.30am until the start of the school day (run by CaterEd) and After School Club from 3.30pm until either 4.30pm or 5.45pm (run by St. Matthew's).
The provision is designed to complement the school day by offering enriching activities and a warm, supportive environment. By integrating sports, crafts, free play, and nutritious snacks, we aim to support the overall well-being and development of every child.
Please contact the office for details of how to book your child into Breakfast or After School Club.
