Extended Day Activities
Extended day school activities are very popular and we offer a variety of activities for children from Reception to Year 2.
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.
We have produced below a sample term’s choice of activities:
| Mondays |
