When booking your child please also ensure that you have carefully read the Booking Form Terms and Conditions and are especially aware of the charging structure and the advance booking requirements, in particular that all booked sessions will be billed. You can access the Booking Form once you have read the information below at the bottom of this page.

The school provides a chargeable daily, supervised and activity-led Wrap Around Care (WAC) facility which provides care for pupils outside of the core school day from 7.30am in the morning until 6pm in the evening during term time. The facility is based in the Dining hall/main hall in the Prep and Pre Prep school.

To book your child into the club, you must complete the weekly Booking Form no later than Midday on Friday of the week preceding the week that your child requires care. The Booking Form will usually be live and available from Monday through to Friday the week preceding the week when care is required for. Due to staffing and catering arrangements that we have to put in place, well in advance of the daily WAC supervision, we cannot accept any late or last minute bookings, except in an emergency or in exceptional circumstances.

Parent Q & A's

  1. How do I contact the club during after school hours? If you need to contact WAC After School Club staff please call 020 8865 1299. This number is only operational during club hours.

Maria Wallace manages the WAC provision and so any queries that you may have, in the first instance, should be directed towards her, MWallace@newlandhouse.net. Maria Wallace will  refresh the booking system, on a weekly and termly basis, and compile the registers accordingly. 

  1. What if I am late picking up my child? The final pick up time is 6pm – staff are not contracted to stay beyond this time so please call Mrs. Wallace on  +44 7852 457002  if you are unexpectedly delayed.
  2. What happens if my child is attending an after school activity club which is subsequently cancelled? The staff member responsible for the club will stay with the children until you are able to collect them. If the club staff leader is unwell and children need to utilise the after school club, Wrap Around Care, a fee will not be charged if the club has been cancelled by us for the duration that the club would have otherwise been running. 
  3.  Can I collect my child earlier than the designated collection time of 5pm or 6pm ? Yes, if you wish to collect your child before the standard end of session points of 5pm and 6pm,  via the minibus gates and calling the Wrap Around Care mobile number (020 8865 1299) and a member of staff will bring your child to you.
  4. Can I drop off my child for morning Wrap Around Care after the 7.30am drop off window? Yes, if you wish to drop off your child later than the standard drop off window you may do so provided that this is no later than 8am. This is done via the Prep side, minibus gate. Please call the Wrap Around Care mobile number (020 8865 1299) and a member of staff will come and let your child in. Please note that even if you drop your child later you will still be charged for the pre-booked session (£7.50).
