Before School
We start our care at 7.45 a.m. in the School Hall for those children who wish to take breakfast*.
For students in Year 2 arriving early for school we have early morning supervision from 8.00am, and for children in Reception and Year 1 this starts at 8.15am.
After School
After-school activities run by members of King Henry’s staff take place between 3.45 and 4.45 p.m. We also have some activities are run by peripatetic staff, such as Karate; these start at 4.00 p.m. and end at 5.00 p.m.
After-care is available each weekday during term time until 6.00 p.m. in the Nursery Building. An hourly charge applies for after-care from 4pm onwards. Parents should book this in advance but the School will look after children whose parents are unable to collect on time and have not pre-booked.
We also have a ‘Sibling Bus’ which transports those children with brothers and sisters at Swallows to Hales, so that parents only have to collect from one campus. This can be booked in advance using our online system.
* A small charge is made for breakfast and aftercare supervision.
