Admissions
Children are admitted to the After School Club on a first-come, first-served basis. Our Reception Year Club is very popular, and places can only be offered once a school place within Reception has been confirmed.
To have the best chance of securing a place, we recommend that you contact us as soon as your child’s school place is confirmed—typically around April—to avoid disappointment and reserve your child’s spot early.
