Breakfast & After-School Club (Go Beyond)

Our culture at Hoddlesden St Paul’s CE Primary School is very much about providing for the school family. Go Beyond provides wraparound care from 7.30am to 6.00pm for families who need childcare for additional hours. Go Beyond also runs a holiday club to provide child care during school holidays. Childcare vouchers can be used for all our sessions at Go Beyond. Closed at Christmas and New Year holidays and the last week of the summer holidays.

Not only is Go Beyond run by members of Hoddlesden St Paul’s CE Primary School staff and not an external agency, parents have the reassurance that their children are in a safe, secure and familiar surrounding.

Go Beyond is held in the main school hall with a varied range of safe, engaging and educational activities for children. All groups from EYFS to Year 6 have access to most of the school facilities including the ICT suite, cookery, and playgrounds. During school holidays, themed activities are arranged to ensure children have lots of fun at Go Beyond.

Breakfast is provided and served until 8.15am for children accessing the morning club. A snack is served from 4.30pm for children attending the after school provision. We request your child’s dietary requirements in the application pack.

Children are dropped off and collected at the Junior doors. Please see the Collection of Pupils Policy for further details.

Go Beyond is a before and after school club providing high-quality childcare. It offers a variety of activities and is operated by school staff.
