Welcome to our Before and After-School Provision Hub We understand that balancing work, family, and your child's development can be challenging. Here we provide information on both before and after-school wraparound care. All settings are designed to provide safe, engaging, and enriching environments for children before the school day, and also once the school day ends.
Whether you're looking for academic support, creative activities, sports, or simply a place where your child can unwind and socialise, these provisions offer a variety of options to suit every child's interests and needs.
The dedicated teams ensure that each child is cared for, encouraged, and inspired — giving you peace of mind while supporting your child's growth and happiness. Explore these offerings, meet the teams, and discover how they can support your family beyond the classroom. SMFA – Early Bird Club – please see information Here you will find here.
SMFA – In-house after school activities; our wide-ranging offer is made half-termly, and you can select your chosen 'clubs' once the information is shared. Activities may be age/class/year-group limited, and often by capacity.
