After School Club
Freedom After School Clubs
Where and when?
Freedom After School Clubs are available at St Luke, St Lawrence, St Saviour and First Tower schools. The clubs operate on every school day throughout the academic year, with the exception of the final day of the school year. Opening hours are from the end of the school day until 6:00pm at St Luke, St Saviour and First Tower, and until 5:30pm at St Lawrence.
Our clubs welcome children from the end of their school day and provide a safe, engaging environment until 6:00pm. At St Lawrence, the club operates until 5:30pm.
For Whom?
We welcome registrations from all children of primary school age. Please note that we are unable to accommodate children who are attending nursery classes at this time.
The Activities
Each day, children can choose from a wide range of activities to suit their interests and energy levels. Whether they prefer to relax with friends, enjoy some quiet reading time, or complete their homework, there will always be opportunities to do so. A variety of games, creative activities and supervised play options are also available, allowing children to decide how they would like to spend their time after school.
Ratio
To ensure a safe, supportive and well-supervised environment, we maintain a staff-to-child ratio of 1:10 or better at all times.
Staff - Our Team
Our dedicated team is committed to providing a safe, nurturing and engaging environment for every child. All permanent staff are either qualified in childcare or are working towards recognised childcare qualifications. Several members of the team also work within the schools, helping to provide continuity and familiar faces for the children.
All staff undergo Enhanced Police checks and complete mandatory training, including safeguarding, food hygiene (Level 2), and paediatric first aid, ensuring the highest standards of care and wellbeing for the children in our clubs.
Snack - Snack Time
Children are offered a substantial snack shortly after arriving at the club to help them recharge after the school day. A selection of drinks and nutritious food options are available.
We aim to accommodate individual preferences wherever possible and will respect any dietary requirements or parental requests. Children may also have opportunities to take part in simple food preparation or baking activities when appropriate and under supervision.
If your child has any food allergies, intolerances or specific dietary needs, please let us know so that we can ensure their safety and wellbeing.
