New! Lower school extended day

From the 22nd April 2025, an Extended Day Club will be available for all children from Pre-K (UK Year Reception) to Grade 4 (UK Year 5), providing a safe, engaging and convenient option for families. Led by our dedicated after-school specialist team, the programme runs every school day after school until 6:00pm, with an early drop-off option available from 7:45 AM (school starts at 8:30 AM). Located in the Lower School Dining Hall, adjacent to the playground, playing fields, and tree houses, the club offers a well-structured programme of activities, along with refreshments and a sandwich tea at an additional cost of £15 per session.
