Before and after School Service
Kitchen for Before and After School Service
|
In our school we have a Before & After School Service. Our newly appointed leader is Ruth Power. We open from 8am - 9.20am in the morning and 2pm-6pm in the afternoon, on days that the school is open only. This service is only for pupils in our school.
|
Our philosophy is that all children should be allowed time for unstructured play after their school day in a safe, familiar and caring environment, where they feel special and that they belong.
As well as a home work club the children have games (Nintendo Wii, DS, board and floor games), the use of a kitchen for cooking and eating, DVD player, the school yard to play games in, scooters, art materials etc.
You can ring the school's office on 051-396383
