Out of School Club
School Buddies - before and after school care
Our out-of-school club, School Buddies, provides a warm and caring environment beyond school hours, where pupils have the opportunity to play with school friends whilst building self-esteem and confidence alongside their peers.
We feel it is important to create a positive home-from-home setting where children are actively encouraged to develop current skills, learn new ones and have fun whilst doing so, promoting their social and creative learning.
The club offers a wide range of fun and stimulating activities that include sports, arts and crafts, ICT and free-choice play to give children the chance to choose how they want to spend their time. It is also a perfect space for them to catch up on any homework they may have been set.
All activities are age appropriate and follow the EYFS Foundation Stage Guidelines for our early year’s children. It is of great important to us that all our pupils spend their out-of-school hours in a safe environment, under the guidance of qualified staff whether their time is spent indoors or outdoors.
