Extended Care Programme
We are proud to offer an extensive extended care programme exclusively for our pupils. Managed and delivered by staff who are also part of our main school team, this ensures that the high standards of our provision are consistent throughout each child's experience with us.
We are committed to educating the whole child, and our extended care programme is thoughtfully designed to enhance, extend, and enrich the high-quality curriculum offered during the school day.
We encourage as many children as possible to participate in the wide range of activities available, as this forms an integral part of the overall Braywick Court School experience. Our goal is for every child to engage in extended care in some way. To support this, we offer funded places in certain sessions for children entitled to Pupil Premium.

Active Start
Active Start runs every day from 8:00-8:40am. This is the perfect way to start the day and get energised ready for learning. It is a fun and energising activity led by our specialist sports coach. Our pupils have the opportunity to take part in a range of activities including team games, new sports and morning workouts.

Evening Owls
Evening Owls offers a home away from home setting where children can have unstructured play in a relaxed environment. Evening Owls runs from 4:15pm -5:30pm (5pm on a Friday).
During Evening Owls, children are able to select from a range of activities. There is also an opportunity for organised games, stories and arts and crafts. It is also a great opportunity for an adult to listen to the younger children read.
Parents have the option of ordering tea, which is served between 4:30pm-5pm.
Ad Hoc Extended Care
If you require a one-off club for your child then we are able to accommodate this. Please contact the office to book a place.
To note: Booking an ad hoc club will incur a £1 premium on standard club fees; a place will be offered in the club that has available space.
Holiday Club
We run regular holiday clubs for our pupils, but children can take advantage of our ‘Recommend a Friend’ offer and bring along a non-school pupil to play!
Holiday Club is planned around a theme and combines a mixture of active and focused activities throughout the day. It runs from 9.00am- 4:00pm.

Paying by Childcare Vouchers/Government Tax Free Childcare Scheme: We have accounts with most Childcare Voucher providers and we are registered for the Government Tax Free Childcare scheme. Your payments do not automatically feed into ScoPay.
If you’d like to pay your outstanding balance using childcare vouchers, please email the office with a copy of your transaction to clubs@braywickcourtschool.org.uk so that your account can be manually credited.
Pupil Premium: Children in receipt of PPG are entitled to one free after school club per term, and a 50% discount on Holiday Club. Your account will be amended by us to reflect one free club per term.
Timely payments: all fees are due in advance termly, before clubs and extended care starts. All previous club payments must be settled by end of term. Any outstanding payments after this date will result in your child not being assigned clubs until this is rectified.
Reinvesting funds
Our extended care programme is run by Braywick Court, for Braywick Court. This means that all funds generated from the program are reinvested directly into the school to benefit our students.
These funds help to support specialist music and Spanish teaching, as well as our sports coaches, which are key components of our extensive curriculum that goes beyond the national curriculum requirements. Additionally, the funds contribute to enhancements such as IT equipment and high-quality art and design technology resources.
