Dragonflies Wraparound Care

At Shepherdswell Academy we offer before and after school provision for children in Otter's Nursery to Year 2.

Dragonflies Breakfast Club operates from 7.30 – 8.35am.

Dragonflies After School Club operates from the end of the school day until 6:00pm and is located at Orchard Academy. Pupils at Shepherdswell Academy are transported by either the school mini-bus or a walking bus to Orchard Academy

Our wraparound care is a welcoming and friendly environment for all children at Shepherdswell Academy. Children are given choices to participate in a variety of arts and crafts, sports, team games, or simply just relax and read a book in the quiet area.

During Dragonflies Breakfast Club, children are provided with breakfast and at Dragonflies After School sessions, children will be provided with a light snack. All menus for food at our extended care is carefully planned and adapted to any dietary requirements.

Booking is available allowing you to select the days you require. Once a booking has been confirmed the place is secure unless cancelled. Bookings and payments need to be made in advance for all sessions that are required, through Arbor, to ensure a place for your child/ren.

Please note that we predict that our extended care will be very popular and advise that you book your sessions in advance.

Please be aware that no food will be served after 8:20 am. We do not accept entry from any child using Dragonflies breakfast club after 8:30am
