Wraparound Care
In line with current government guidance, we are reviewing our before and after school care and the hours on offer. Below is a link to a survey with 3 quick questions to help us understand the demand for afterschool club and whether there is a reason to investigate extending the hours available. If you get two minutes, please let us know what you think.
Please don't be concerned about it closing - this is not an option; it is purely to understand the current demand and how best we can meet it. Nothing will change without plenty of notice.
