After School Care (Time Out Pupils’ Scheme)

TOPS covers term time and most holidays and is our Extended Day and Holiday Scheme

TOPS Term Time

TOPS has been set up to support busy parents / guardians by providing a stimulating and creative environment. The children enjoy the after school activities and many pupils use this facility from Kindergarten upwards.

TOPS provides cover from 7.30 am to 6.00 pm in term time.

At the end of the school day the children relax and play outdoors whenever possible. During the sessions older children have the opportunity to do their homework, while younger children are encouraged to take part in activities and crafts. These activities are based on a theme which is regularly changed and designed to encourage creative skills to provide new learning opportunities. Quiet resting time is available for those who need it

TOPS is offered on all sites. If children have brothers or sisters on other sites, arrangements can be made to transport the older children to the site of their younger sibling.

Morning session
7.30 - 8.30 am - available at Woodfield and St Paul's
Children from The Abbey who need this provision attend Woodfield
and travel to The Abbey on the school bus.

Afternoon Session 1
End of school - 4.45 pm - available on all sites

Afternoon Session 2

School tea can be ordered which consists of sandwiches, fruit or desert, or 'hot' tea, e.g. baked beans on toast. Pupils may bring their own tea if preferred. Children not requiring tea will be given a drink and a biscuit.

TOPS Holiday Scheme

TOPS operates during all school holidays with the exception of Bank Holidays. It is usually based at Woodfield and is available for pupils from all three sites.

This is a care scheme suitable for children from Kindergarten to J6. A whole range of activities is organised including some visits off site. Details are circulated regularly.

TOPS Holiday sessions can be booked prior to each school holiday and a timetable of activities for each holiday scheme is available through the school.

Summer Fun

TOPS had lots of fun during the Summer Holiday Scheme. Our boys and girls took part in various sports and outside play activities. The 'Aspire Sports' sessions were extremely popular and included golf, football and tennis. For the more flexible, we held Yoga and Dance sessions. Children of all ages found this great fun.

We also had a Bouncy Castle Fun day and a visit from Animalantics. The children saw all kinds of amazing bugs and animals and went home with lots of facts and stories to tell.
