We believe that children are happiest when engaged in meaningful, fun activites in a structured environment. School Plus is designed to be less formal than school but, in keeping with the school ethos, learning in its broadest sense is at its heart.
School Plus after school
(Details may vary from school to school)
We work closely with host schools to make sure the transition from school to School Plus is safe and smooth.
Each evening the group will take part in at least two activities and over a term all the locally advertised activities will be covered.
School Plus activities include:
- Active Kids physical activity and sport
- Study support focussing on literacy and numeracy
- Art
- Craft
- Performing Arts
- Photography and ICT (facility dependant)
What happens at School Plus after school?
A typical evening may look like this:

School Plus before school
No matter how old you are, what better way is there to start the day than with some high energy, fun physical activity and a healthy breakfast. Our experience supports research that suggests sport and physical activity before school improves attendance and morning punctuality, reduces disruptive behaviour in class and promotes good learning especially in morning lessons.
