Wraparound Care
At Holy Cross we offer both a Breakfast and an After-School Club. We recognise the positive impact that wraparound childcare provision can have as it supports our families by enabling parents/carers to access work and training. As a Catholic school, we hold Gospel teaching as central to our purpose and the basis of our relationship with our community. By choosing our wraparound care, your child will benefit from these Gospel values.
PARENTS MUST HAVE BOOKED A PLACE FOR THEIR CHILD FOR SAFEGUARDING REASONS.
