Before School

At St Anselm’s Catholic Primary School, we understand the importance of providing flexible childcare to support working parents. Our Breakfast Club and After School Club are operated by Progressive Sports, an external provider, and take place on the school premises.

Breakfast Club

Our Breakfast Club opens at 7.30am, allowing parents who need an earlier start to their working day to bring their children to school, where they will be cared for in a safe and welcoming environment.

As part of the Government’s commitment to ensuring that every child has access to a healthy breakfast, we also offer a free Breakfast Club from 8.00am to 8.30am.

After School

After School Club

Our After School Club provides childcare from the end of the school day, giving children the opportunity to enjoy a range of activities in a familiar environment.

The club operates until:

  • 6.00pm Monday to Thursday

  • 5.00pm on Fridays

Booking and Further Information

Both clubs are managed by Progressive Sports, who are responsible for bookings and the day-to-day running of the provision.

Parents wishing to use either club must book their child's place in advance through Progressive Sports.
