After Care
We appreciate that parents cannot always pick up their children at the end of the school day. Supervised After Care is available every day until 6:00pm
- Arrangements and dismissal times
- Girls in Reception and Year 1, who are not picked up at the usual time at the end of the day will, under staff supervision, be escorted to the Prep School library. There is a good supply of activities and games which are appropriate for all age groups.
- If a pupil is not picked up from school at the end of the school day, she will automatically go to After Care. Please ring the school during the day, in order to alert staff and ask them to inform your daughter, if circumstances arise which delay your arrival at the school.
- For siblings of Senior School pupils we offer a prompt 4:00pm dismissal time.
- Girls may use After Care if they attend after school clubs or activities which do not begin until after the end of their normal school day e.g. a sports club session starting at 4:30pm. If these clubs take place in the Senior School and start immediately after the school day, the girls will be escorted to their activity by a member of staff.
