After school Clubs at St Mary's
From September 2025 - Autumn Term
New For September!
Every day we will be running a sports or creative club as well as lots of childcare activities. Our sport or creative clubs finish at 4.30pm with our childcare continuing with lots of fun activities until 6pm.
Children will participate in the club activity and also get free time to play with their friends. In addition to this, we also offer a meal with our children staying on until 6pm. We are aiming to provide a freshly made hot tea every evening if the facilities allow. Encouraging children to live a healthy and active lifestyle is key for us, which is why we aim to provide our meals with at least 2 of their 5 a day. Once we know what facilities are available we will have a menu ready for parents.
Please see below for our timetable, prices and booking. For any other enquiries please email harry@plaype.co.uk
Pick up arrangements:
Pick up will still be at the main school office, however parents will not be permitted to enter the school building. Please can parents wait outside the front door and we will send your child out to you.
