After School Clubs
After school clubs run in partnership with the Army, RAF and other
local communities for 5 to 13 year olds. Parents and guardians are
welcome to stay and have a cup of tea, take part or just chat. They
provide a safe place to wind down after school to be creative with
clay and stuff, cook cakes and share them round and take excess
energy outside with football and hopscotch. Needless to say there is
always somebody who prefers to use our large flat screens and
computer games.
