'Adventure Clubs' provide wrap around care which includes breakfast and after school clubs for children aged three to eleven years. Breakfast Club opens at 7:30am and the 'after school club' closes at 6pm.
'Adventure Clubs' also run our on-site pre-school which works closely with our Early Years team providing a stimulating environment and exciting activities for the children to learn from.
We are now offering Pre-School provision for children from aged 2 years Our free flow activities every afternoon allow the children from pre-school, reception and year one to move seamlessly between the settings. This ensures that the children know all the staff in the Early Years building and enables all the children to enjoy a smooth transition from pre-school to reception.
Pre-school children are involved fully in all aspects of school life joining the rest of our school family for topic activities, school services and lunch times. Further information about Adventure Clubs can be obtained by contacting Susanne on 01270 882567.
