Wraparound Care at St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School
St. Matthew’s prides itself on being as flexible as possible around our parents and allowing them the freedom to continue to work while their child is with us for many great years. We operate a wrap around care from 7:30 am – 8:30 am and 3:00 pm – 6 pm (5:00 pm on Fridays.) and we hope to be able to accommodate most places that are requested. Please contact the school office and we’ll be happy to check the diary for any free spaces.
Breakfast Club
The breakfast club is open Monday – Friday (term time only) from 7.30am – 8.30am. Breakfast is cleared away by 8:20 to ensure the hall is cleared away and there is time to organise before school starts.
Afterschool Club
The afterschool club is open Monday – Friday, (term time only) from 3:00pm – 6:00pm, (5:00pm on a Friday). To book a place in the afterschool club, please contact the school office or a member of afterschool staff. A snack is provided during the first hour of the club.
