Early Morning Club (8am)

Early Morning Club is available from 8am in Little School and offers before-school care to all children in the Prep and supports those parents who need to drop their children off earlier.

At 8.30am, children are collected and taken to Pre-Prep by a member of the Pre-Prep team.

Fun Club (3.30pm to 6.00pm)

Fun Club runs from 3.30pm to 6.00pm during term-time and is open to children in Pre-Prep, Reception and Years 1 and 2.  The Club runs in Little School and offers a range of fun activities to excite and inspire, as well as offering a time when children can relax and play, at the end of the day. A light tea/snack is served during the first hour of Fun Club.

During the school holiday periods the Pre-Prep curriculum has a more relaxed focus and children do not need to wear uniform. They will access lots of additional activities whilst still following our Early Years educational programme.  

Days run from 8am to 4pm during the holiday weeks.

A light breakfast is offered to children between 8am and 9am.

Parents requiring additional care between 4pm and 6pm are able to book their child onto a Star Activities ‘Twilight’ session.

A hot lunch is served in the School Dining Hall each day.  Pre-Prep children are accompanied by their key person to the Dining Hall and sit with them during lunch.

Children are also provided with a snack twice a day.  A piece of fruit is offered in the morning, followed by a carbohydrate based snack in the afternoon.  

Water is freely available through the day and milk is offered in the afternoon.
