Kettlefields' After School Club opened in April 2014 and has become a successful, educational and fun After School Club enjoyed by a large number of our pupils. We offer quality out of school care for children aged 4-11 years. Our staff are experienced, DBS checked and valued members of our whole school team.

At our After School Club, we promote the principles of play: that children's play is freely chosen and that through play children can explore - learning and developing as an individual. Our aim is to provide opportunities for the individual child to achieve his or her potential in a fun, friendly and caring environment. Your child's enjoyment, care and safety are our main concerns.

The After School Club is based in our mobile classroom at the top of the car park. This fabulous space allows us to accommodate up to 35 children per session. The children arrive at the Club and have the opportunity to have a snack and a drink, and then our activities start. There is one main activity per session that is staff led, which the children can choose to take part in. Also during the session, there is a selection of board games and play materials such as Lego, Hama beads and a football table. Your child will also be free to use the laptops and book library. The children have access to all the outside spaces at the school and are supervised appropriately. These include the trim trail, play area, forest and the school playground, where we play outdoor sports such as parachute games, football and other fun games. The club has themed activities to celebrate special events and holidays such as Easter, and Christmas.

We also accept Child Care Vouchers for those entitled to them.
