At St. Oswald’s, we understand the needs of busy families, which is why we offer flexible wraparound care through our “Rise and Shine” provision. Our “Rise” breakfast club gives children a positive start to the day with a healthy breakfast and the chance to socialise with friends in a relaxed setting. After school, our “Shine” club provides flexible options with both early and late sessions available. Children can enjoy a wide range of activities including sports, singing, gaming, baking, and more.
There is a charge for “Rise and Shine”—for full details, please contact the school office.
