At Blean, our Extended School team offers a Breakfast Club from 7:30am and an After School Club until 6pm. Extended School aims to create a ‘home from home’ environment where children can play, relax and interact with all different ages. Activities include art and craft, playground games, role play and relaxing with friends in the quiet area. Our staff are a range of ages, adding to the family feeling in the club; many of them working in other roles in the school enabling good links between club and school. We would love to welcome you into the club!

All food is prepared on the premises and we offer a variety of dishes catering for any needs. A light snack is served every afternoon at the Club and all dietary requirements are addressed. Breakfast may include:

• Cereal
• Toast
• Fruit
• Yogurt
• Juice
• Occasional days with pancakes, muffins or other treats!
