After school
All children will be collected from their classrooms at the end of the school day and they will have their afterschool session in either classroom, OOSC building or outside areas.
All the children will need to be collected from the OOSC building only. Parents/carers will have to use our side entrance gate to enter school as the gate on the playground will be locked.
Communication
Requests for places and queries are via the school office. Places are very popular and a waiting list is held by the office.
