Extended Day: From 7:45 am until 6:00 pm

At Herries, we understand the demands of modern family life and are pleased to offer comprehensive wrap-around care for our pupils from 7:45 am until 6:00 pm. Recognizing the evolving needs of our parents, we continuously assess our Extended Day timings and are delighted to now offer care until 6:00 pm to meet this demand.

Our Early Bird session begins at 7:45 am in the hall, providing a relaxed start to the day with engaging games and activities. This smooth transition into the school day ensures a positive and settled beginning for all.

Following the school day, we offer a vibrant array of after-school activities, giving our pupils fantastic opportunities to explore new interests and develop friendships in a familiar setting. Examples of activities include multisports, striking and field sports, tennis, science club, create club, fencing, homework club, cookery, musical theatre, athletics, tennis and golf.

For our pupils in Year 3 and above, a dedicated homework club runs from Monday to Thursday from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, providing a supportive environment for completing assignments.

From the end of the formal school day, the Year 1 classroom transforms into a welcoming ‘home from home’. Here, children who stay for the Extended Day can unwind and enjoy reading, Lego, drawing, and quiet games. We are committed to ensuring that this time is relaxing and enjoyable, allowing them to de-stress after their academic day. This nurturing environment also fosters wonderful friendships across different year groups. For those staying until 6pm, 'tea' is provided.
