After school club can be booked in hour slots. We charge a voluntary consumable charge for all sessions. We also offer a hot lunch at a cost of £3.50 a day.
Once you have accepted your child's space you will be required to pay a deposit to secure your child's space. This will be refunded when we receive your child's government funding or if 4 weeks' notice of leaving is given.
