Extended day school activities are very popular and we offer a variety of activities for children from Reception to Year 3.
Children are supervised until the start of their activity. During this time, they are offered a special ‘Extended Day Activities’ Tea prior to the activity. This includes sandwiches, a savoury, a variety of fruit and fruit juice, which are provided before the children start their activity.
We have produced below a sample term’s choice of activities:
| MONDAY |
