Our wraparound care provision at Benedict House supports families by offering high quality care beyond the school day, within a familiar, nurturing and relaxed environment. Available to all pupils from Pre-Prep through to Year 6, wraparound care runs every school day during term time and is designed to complement the rhythm of the school day while prioritising children’s wellbeing.
Breakfast Club runs from 7:30am to 8:30am, providing children with a calm and positive start to the day. Children can enjoy a range of wholesome breakfast options including cereal, fruit, yoghurt, toast, bagels and brioche, before engaging in quiet, relaxed activities that help them settle confidently before lessons begin.
After School Care operates in two flexible sessions from 3:30pm to 4:45pm and from 4:45pm to 6:00pm, with children able to be dropped off or collected at any point during these times. A selection of balanced snacks is provided, including fruit, yoghurt, biscuits, crackers, cheese and brioche.
Children take part in a variety of enjoyable, play based activities such as crafting, construction and colouring, allowing them to unwind, socialise and engage creatively at the end of the school day. The atmosphere is intentionally more relaxed, supporting calm transitions and positive social interactions.
For pupils in Years 1 to 6, time is set aside during after school care to encourage the completion of homework. This takes place in a quiet space, with work supervised to promote focus and independence while maintaining a calm environment.
Our wraparound care programme is led by our Senior Teaching Assistant and staffed by members of our teaching team, ensuring continuity of care and strong relationships with familiar adults. Throughout wraparound care, our school values of resilience, respect, integrity, teamwork and empathy are reinforced, creating a safe, caring and supportive environment where children feel valued and secure.
