Horizon Wraparound Care
Horizon – Where every day begins and ends with care
Horizon is our on-site wraparound care provision, offering both Breakfast Club and After School Club, run directly by the school during term time, Monday to Friday. Horizon provides a safe, nurturing, and familiar environment where children are well cared for beyond the school day.
Our wraparound care is available for children from Year R to Year 6 and is staffed by trusted members of our school team who are well known to the children. This ensures consistency of care, strong relationships, and a secure sense of belonging, helping children feel settled and confident at the beginning and end of each school day.
At Horizon, children are supported in a calm and welcoming atmosphere where their individual needs are recognised and valued. We offer a balance of quiet time, play, and structured activities, allowing children to relax, socialise, and enjoy their time in a way that feels comfortable and inclusive.
Both Horizon Breakfast Club and After School Club are based in our newly refurbished kitchen and the Key Stage 2 hall. These welcoming, well-equipped spaces provide opportunities for children to eat together, unwind, and take part in a range of enjoyable activities in a safe and supervised setting.
Safeguarding and wellbeing are at the heart of Horizon. We work closely with families and the wider school community to ensure clear communication, high standards of care, and a shared commitment to supporting every child’s happiness, safety, and development.
At Horizon, we are proud to extend the school day with warmth, kindness, and trusted care — ensuring every child’s day truly begins and ends with care.
