Cool Cats and Wild Things Before and After School Club

Here at St Joseph’s we run a before and after school club each day. The Club opens from 7.30 a.m. and runs until 8.40 a.m. each morning and then we run an evening session from the end of the school day until 5.30 p.m.

Parents can book individual sessions or blocks of sessions on the Arbor app. Sessions must be prepaid on the Arbor app or via Tax Free Childcare in advance. Email or telephone booking requests will no longer be accepted.

The Club is staffed by a dedicated team, the majority of whom also hold other roles within school and are therefore familiar to the children. The Club has its own dedicated room with cooking facilities and toilets, but they also use many of the school’s facilities such as the hall, the playground and at times classrooms.

During the morning sessions the children are provided with breakfast, including drinks and after school the children all enjoy a snack and a drink.

If you would like to enquire about the facility please contact Mrs Walsh in the School Office.
