Wrap Around Care
We understand the daily demands of busy working families and are here to make your life easier.
After school care in the Prep School is directed, while in Senior House, girls can independently complete homework or read.
Breakfast Club
Our Breakfast Club is free for girls who are not eating breakfast. For those who need breakfast, it is available at a minimal cost of £1 per item.
Nursery and Reception children can be dropped off from 7:30 AM and are supervised in Paddington House.
Girls in Years 1-6 can be dropped off at 7:30 AM and attend Breakfast Club in the Dining Hall, where they participate in various activities to start their day.
Senior House students arriving before school begins must sign in at Reception, then head to their Form Room, Library, or attend one of our co-curricular clubs.
After School Care
The Hub, our after school care for Prep students, is free and available until 6:00 PM.
Located in Paddington House, The Hub offers structured time for Prep girls to stay at school until 6:00 PM, either after the school day or following co-curricular clubs.
We provide:
- Homework support for girls in Years 3-6 with teacher assistance.
- Fun and structured activities that promote key skills such as teamwork, including dodgeball, Lego challenges, treasure hunts, and arts and crafts.
- Downtime to help girls unwind after a busy day, crucial for mental health and well-being.
A light snack is provided, we recommend girls staying past 4:30 PM bring tea with them.
You can book The Hub in advance using the booking form, but we also accept last-minute bookings through the school office.
An example of The Hub’s weekly timetable is available below.
Holiday Care
We appreciate that child care can be a juggle beyond term time.
We are proud to have partnered with Camp Beaumont to offer a Holiday Club here at St Mary’s for girls from the age of 3. Running during Easter and Summer, and some half terms, the Holiday Clubs provide safe, fun and engaging childcare for children in a familiar setting. Parents of children at St Mary’s have an exclusive discount of 10% and bookings can be made through their website here.
