Before & After School Service
07:50 to 08:50
Before School
Our Before School service offers care between the hours of 7.50am and 8.50am. This service is available Monday to Friday during school term time.
The children can play with their friends, partake in an activity, read or just relax before their busy day ahead.
The children will then be taken to their class line in the yard when the school bell rings at 8.50am.
13:30 to 14:30
Infants
This service is available for parents of Junior and Senior Infants, and is designed to accommodate families with older children by offering a single pick-up time.
Our staff collect the children from their teachers and bring them to the After School rooms. While there, the children get to choose from a variety of activities either indoors or outdoors depending on the weather.
Parents can pick up their younger children any time before 14:30, prior to collecting their older children.
14:30 to 18:15
After School
This service is available for Junior Infants to 6th class.
It offers a fun, relaxed, and safe environment where children can unwind and engage in a variety of creative and physical activities, guided by our qualified, Garda-vetted staff.
While not an extension of the school day, the service supports children's social and emotional development through child-let programmes tailored to their age and interests.
Homework supervision is offered, allowing children to complete written homework tasks. Learning/reading should be completed at home.
Healthy snacks are provided, following the Department of Health's Food Guidelines.
The service ethos is built on having fun in an atmosphere that is different to that in the classroom.
Rest, Relaxation and Recreation are the main focus of quality at our Before and After School service.
Our aim is to extend the children’s daily learning by involving them in a range of creative and active activities that will stimulate and challenge them holistically. The children can unwind in a relaxing, safe, home from home environment while still being part of the school community.
We are open every day during school term time.
