Our After School Club is a welcoming and supportive space where children can relax, learn, and have fun after the academy day ends. We offer a wide range of engaging activities designed to spark creativity and build new skills, from arts and crafts to film afternoons and board games. There is also dedicated time set aside for homework and reading, with staff available to offer guidance and support. To keep them fueled and focused, we also provide a variety of healthy snacks. It’s the perfect place for children to make friends, try new things, and end their day on a positive note!

Do children benefit?

Research shows that After School Clubs have a significant positive impact on children’s development.

Studies suggest that children who attend are up to 20% more likely to improve their academic performance, as dedicated homework time helps reinforce classroom learning. Furthermore, over 70% of parents have also reported improved social skills and confidence in their children when they regularly attend an After School Club. Access to healthy snacks during this time also supports better concentration and energy levels, helping children thrive both academically and socially.

Teachers have also noticed an improvement in social skills due to After School Clubs giving children more opportunities to build friendships, work as a team, and develop confidence outside the traditional classroom setting. Additionally, children who attend tend to show better focus and behaviour during the school day, likely because of the extra support and structure provided by the club.
