Breakfast and After School
We offer "wrap-around" care for our pupils through our own Early Birds Breakfast Club and through external provider Happy Faces Out of School Care for after school. Please see all the information below for booking processes.
These facilities provide a friendly, caring environment for the children to play and meet friends before and after school. Early Birds is run onsite and Happy Faces is run in the community hall (access from Dundonald Recreation Ground).
Please note that all clubs need to be pre-booked.
