In house Wraparound care Service (Breakfast Club & Aftercare)

At Thameside we offer a Wraparound facility for children and parents. Breakfast club runs Monday to Friday from 8am during term time. On offer to eat are a selection of cereals, toast and fruit. The cost is £3.50 per session per child.

Aftercare starts at 3.15pm and runs until 6pm. We also provide a light tea prepared by our school meals provider, Caterlink. We offer a balanced and healthy range of foods. We also provide for vegetarians and other dietary requirements. The cost is £12.50 per session per child. Fees are reviewed annually and adjusted in September each year. 

Children are able to choose their own resources and activities at Wraparound. They have access to both inside and outside all year round after school. It is not a homework club, and we aim to ensure that children have a variety of fun activities to choose from. 

Teaching Assistants and lunchtime staff from across the school work at After Care. Miss Roseaman is the Wraparound Service Team Manager.
