At King’s St Alban’s we understand that many of our parents lead busy lives and we recognise the need to provide an extended day and wrap-around care for the children. 

We therefore offer excellent, fee-inclusive, supervised, wrap-around care from 7.45am to 6.00pm.

Before School (7:45 AM – 8:40 AM)

We ensure a smooth and welcoming start to the day for all our pupils.

  • 7:45 AM – 8:00 AM – Children arriving during this time can be signed in at Pre-Prep, where a friendly member of staff will be on hand to greet them.
  • From 8:00 AM – Pupils in Years 3 to 6 will be accompanied by the Head to the Prep School. Once there, they can either relax in the Library until 8:15 AM or join our welcoming Breakfast Club for a delicious and energising start to the day.
  • 8:15 AM – 8:40 AM – From this time, Years 3 to 6 can be dropped off on the playground, where they can catch up with friends before the school day begins. Meanwhile, Reception to Year 2 pupils go straight to Pre-Prep. Any Prep School pupils who arrived earlier will also head outside to join their classmates from 8:15 AM.

Early Morning Swim Sessions – Twice a week, pupils also have the opportunity to enjoy an invigorating morning swim, with expert coaches on hand to guide them through a fun and refreshing start to the day.

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club takes place from 8.00am, when pupils can enjoy a cooked breakfast. Those wishing to use this service should meet in the School Office at 8.00am and will be accompanied to the Dining Hall by a member of staff. There is no need to book this and charges will appear on your termly bill.

After-School Wrap-around Care

Every day, we offer a wide range of clubs and activities as part of our after-school provision. These typically run until 4:30/5:00 PM, after which children can be supervised in the Late Room, alongside those not participating in a club.

To ensure age-appropriate experiences, we offer different clubs for our Pre-Prep pupils (Reception to Year 2) and our Prep School pupils (Years 3 to 6). The selection of clubs is reviewed and updated each term, providing new and exciting opportunities for all.

Pre-Prep Wrap-around

Children are able to stay in Pre-Prep until 6.00pm if required. Parents can collect their children at any time from the end of the school day (3.20pm Reception, 3.30pm Year 1, 3.40pm Year 2). You will be greeted by a member of staff at the Pre-Prep door who will hand your child(ren) over to you. If Pre-Prep children are using Late Room, they can enjoy supervised time to read, relax, and play games.

What happens when the school day finishes?

Children have supervised playtime on the playground from 3.40pm to 4.00pm but can be picked up at any time from 3.40pm.  Children who are in school after 4.00pm, who are not involved in an after-school club activity, will be looked after in our Late Room, for which there is no charge. This is a quiet room where children may complete homework or read, supervised by a member of staff. They can then relax with a board game, Lego, or a film until they are collected.

Care during school holidays

King’s St Alban’s Holiday Club offers a multitude of activities for children in Reception to Year 8 to enjoy in the Christmas, Easter, and summer holidays.
