Prep Breakfast and After School Clubs

Woodlanders After School Club

Woodlanders is our wonderful after school care offering and is open to all Pre-Prep (Reception - Year 2) children. It runs from 3.30pm - 5.45pm. Parents can book a half session (3:30pm - 4:30pm or from the end of an after school activity until 5.45pm) or for a full session (3.30 - 5.45pm).

In addition to Woodlanders, we host a number of after school activities each day for our Pre-Prep children. These run from 3:30pm to 4:15/4:30pm and include Street Dance, Ballet, Football, Karate, (for Years R, 1 & 2), Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, French, Gardening and Golf (for Years 1 & 2).

Please note that some clubs only run in the summer term. 

An introduction to the Extended Day

From Year 3 onwards, there is a gradual introduction to the longer school day and these are included in the fees.  In Year 3 Tuesday is the compulsory extended activity Day for Year 3. On Tuesday, in the Autumn Term, Year 3 pupils are involved in the Christmas Production and in the Spring and Summer Terms, they join the Year 4 pupils on a carousel of creative and physical activities based around British Values. 

Tuesday and Thursday are our compulsory extended activity days for Year 4. On Tuesday, in the Autumn Term, Year 4 children are involved in the Christmas Production and in the Spring and Summer Terms, they join the Year 3 children on a carousel of creative and physical activities based around British Values. On Thursdays there are well planned extra-curricular activities.

Activities for the Shorter Days

On the non-extended school days, there will be activities that the children can opt in to on a termly basis.

We have designed our programme to be fun and flexible as well as stimulating. Tuesday activities are included in the fees for both Year 3 and Year 4. Thursday activities are included in the fees for Year 4, but chargeable to Year 3. There are some exceptions, but these clubs will be highlighted on the activities letter. The evening sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday commence with a short homework/reading session followed by a drink and snack and supervised play time before the activity. There is a charge per evening session and these charges will be stated on the activities letter. A full list of activities will be emailed to you. Charges will be incurred even if the facility is not always used, but there is some flexibility for new children for the first few weeks. 

Co-Curricular activities are built into the school day.
