At St Charles we value the importance of wrap around care to support parents.
We are pleased to offer high quality care with Kick Start and Kick Back our Breakfast and After School club.
Organisation
Our before and after school clubs primarily run from the school hall, but we also utilise the school’s outdoor areas. The club is run by school staff so your child will be cared for by familiar faces. Children should be dropped off and collected from the main school door.
Activities
Both clubs offer a calm environment where children can engage in a range of activities. They have time to sit, eat and play with their friends. Indoor activities on offer include; board games, colouring and puzzles, art and craft, computers, construction and ‘small world’ toys. Outdoor activities include football, hockey, tennis, bats and balls, chalks, hoops, and the school’s outdoor equipment.
