In November 2015, we opened a Breakfast Club. Children can arrive at school from 7.45 am, and have a healthy breakfast of fruit juice, cereal and toast. After breakfast children can choose quiet activities, drawing, model building, jigsaws and sewing in a supervised area of the school hall.
Children who don’t want to have breakfast but need an early drop off can arrive at school from 8 am and join in the activities mentioned above.
Please contact the school office for further details.
