At Wrenthorpe Academy, we believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and our Breakfast Club gives children the best start to the day. Our after-school clubs are also a fundamental part of the school day and our wider offer for the curriculum.
Breakfast Club (Early Birds) runs every day of the school year from 7:30am – 8:45am, and offers flexibility to parents to support with employment, childcare and at a competitive rate. Breakfast Club is run and managed by a dedicated team of staff, who all also support children in school during the day in a different capacity, so there is always a familiar adult waiting to greet children with a smile.
We are incredibly proud of our after-school club offer (Night Owls). After-schools club not only gives children the opportunity to develop a new passion or skill, it also gives children the chance to work with different children and staff. If you would like to know anything else about after-school clubs, please speak to the school office.

Payment
Any bookings made must also be paid for at the same time. If you are booking a large number of sessions in one go (for example, half a term in advance), then payments can be made on a weekly or monthly basis. Payments for the following week must be up date by the end of the day, the Thursday before. Bookings will not be accepted without payment in advance.
Cancellations
- Once bookings have been made, refunds can only be given with a minimum of 14 days-notice.
- Bookings with less than 14 days-notice cannot be refunded. Unfortunately, children will not be able to attend if a place has not been booked.
- On the rare occasion you may need to make a booking after the weekly deadline, please contact the office directly; however, this shouldn’t be used as a regular way of making bookings as there is strong possibility that the provision will be fully booked.
Should you have any further questions, please contact the school office.
Prices
Our prices are reviewed regularly to keep these as affordable as possible for families, whilst ensuring we cover the running costs.

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.
