The Den

The Den is our wrap around care within school. The Den provides a caring and safe environment for before and after school. It has a homely feel where children are at the centre. Our playleader and play workers are experienced practitioners who plan, resource and lead sessions based on individual children’s needs. Children have access to fun and exciting activities, open provision and resources, homework and reading support and the option to relax with friends.
