Wraparound Care

Wraparound Care at The Linden Academy. 

We understand that family life can be busy, especially with primary school chidlren. Our wraparound care provision offers a safe, supportive and engaging environment for children before and after the school day, helping to make mornings smoother and afternoons more flexible, supporting our families in Luton and our local community. 

What we offer:

At The Linden Academy, we provide:

  • Breakfast Club before school
  • After-School Club at the end of the day

Our provision is open to all pupils and is run by familiar, experienced school staff in a safe and welcoming environment.

The After-School Club runs from 3:15pm to 5:45pm.
At the end of the school day, your child’s class teacher will take them directly to the club once their class has been dismissed.

Our wraparound care is designed to be both enjoyable and relaxing. Children can take part in a range of activities, including:

  • Arts and crafts

  • Homework station
  • Reading and quiet time
  • Social time with friends

Whether it’s a calm start to the morning or a fun way to unwind after school, there’s something for everyone.

Children can choose what they would like to do from the activities on offer. All children will be encouraged to take part in the physical activity for a short part of their time in the club.

A weekly timetable will be sent our prior to the week of the club. 

At the moment, the club is not providing food but hopes to in the future. Please pack your child a healthy snack (no cakes, chocolate bars, sweets, fizzy drinks, juice) if you wish them to have something to nibble and /or sip on! Water will be available to all children.
