Aftercare
We offer a structured aftercare programme on the school premises to assist parents who are unable to fetch their children directly after school.
Our aim is to provide a safe environment where our children are encouraged to learn through play. The aftercare programme is less formal than the school’s daily curriculum.
Our aftercare runs from Monday to Friday from 13h30 until 17h30.
Our afternoon programme includes a cooked lunch, with fruit and juice on offer.
