At Laxton Junior School, we understand that family life can be busy and varied. Our Wrap‑Around Care offers a warm, safe and nurturing environment that supports parents who need a longer school day, while giving children a fun and engaging start or end to their time at school. Available from 7.30am until 6.00pm, our provision ensures complete flexibility and peace of mind for families.
We also offer a convenient ‘roll and drop’ service for families with limited time in the mornings. Parents can simply pull up at the front entrance, where a staff member will warmly greet children and safely escort them to their classroom.
Beyond term time, we run activity‑led holiday clubs that make use of the excellent facilities available through Oundle School. These clubs offer parents high‑quality, reliable childcare all year round, while giving children opportunities to try new activities, make friends and enjoy fun, structured days during school holidays
Our Before School Care provides a friendly, purposeful start to the day. From 7.30am onwards, children are welcomed by our dedicated pastoral team and supervised as they ease gently into the morning.
Children can enjoy:
Pupils are escorted to their classrooms so they can begin the day feeling confident, settled and ready to learn.
Our after‑school clubs programme offers children a wide range of opportunities to learn new skills, explore personal interests and enjoy enriching experiences beyond the classroom. The clubs available change each term, ensuring variety and excitement, and the majority are offered free of charge. This flexible provision supports families in Oundle, Peterborough and the wider Northamptonshire area, while giving pupils the chance to grow in confidence, creativity and teamwork.
Early Griffin Club runs from 3.45pm to 5.00pm and includes a healthy snack. During this time, children can take part in calm activities, creative tasks, or social play that helps them unwind after the school day.
Late Griffin Club operates from the end of co‑curricular clubs until 6.00pm. This session includes a hot supper, served on a three‑week rotating menu, giving families the reassurance that dinner is already taken care of when children return home. Activities are designed to be fun, relaxing and age‑appropriate so the day ends positively.
For our Prep stage pupils in Years 4 to 6, we offer Griffin Prep Club, running from 3.45pm to 6.00pm.
Children begin the session with a snack before settling into a supervised classroom environment, where they are supported to complete their independent Prep (homework).
Once homework is finished, pupils join Late Griffin Club to enjoy a hot supper and time to relax, socialise and unwind before going home.
