For parents who require greater flexibility in drop-off and pick-up times around the school day, we offer Apple Pips wrap around care, providing a fun, relaxed environment for pupils.
Apple Pips is managed by the school, and run on site by our own experienced Teaching Assistants. Activities include crafts, games and role play. Provision to complete homework is available to pupils joining Apple Pips from the Upper Junior school. Please see the Apple Pips Booklet below for full information.
We will update this page page in the summer term with Apple Pips information for September 2025. The information below is for the current academic year.
