How do I register my child for extra curricular clubs?
After school clubs are routinely updated every term when a new registration letter is sent out to parents, detailing the clubs on offer for that term. As clubs are often widely oversubscribed, it is recommended that you complete the letter and return it to the school office by the deadline given. This enables school to allocate places quickly and efficiently. If your child receives a place at a club, you will be notified by text message.
Do you offer wraparound care?
Yes. Wraparound care is offered from 7.30am to 6pm. Please see details on our Treetops page.
