At Crofton, we believe after-school clubs are a fundamental part of the school day and part of our wider curriculum.
We are incredibly proud of our outstanding after-school club offer, offering a variety of after school clubs every year, many for free and open to all children! After-schools clubs not only give children the opportunity to develop a new passion or skill or provide exit routes for progression, but give children the chance to work with a range of different children and staff. If you’d like to know anything else about after-school clubs, please speak to the school office.
Nursery extended hours option.
We currently offer our 30 hour children the option to enjoy extended time in our outstanding nursery provision. Children can finish at 2:30pm or the later time of 3:15pm for a charge of £3 a day.
Inclusivity
Our clubs are completely inclusive and open to everyone. If you think your child may need additional support or adaptations to fully enjoy a club, just let us know!
Feedback
We are always looking for ways to further improve our offer, so if you have any links or think there is something else we could run, please let us know. For example, it was fed back that our community wanted more clubs for FS2, so in the summer term we opened up more clubs to our youngest children!
How To Book
Booking onto after-school is easy. All bookings can be made within a few taps, using our My Child at School app. Clubs go live at a specific time on an evening to allow all parents the opportunity to sign their children up, and more information can be found on our MCAS page.
Benefits of After-School Clubs
After-school clubs have a number of benefits to both children and parents:

- Children can learn a new skills or even find a new hobby
