StJ Extra - Wrap Around Care
Wraparound Care Provision
Is my STJ Extra Wraparound request for child care guaranteed?
No! If you are an existing user and wish to request additional sessions for your child, or you are a new joiner to St James's, STJ Extra wraparound care is not guaranteed.
It is dependent on whether there are places available at the session you have requested and where your position is on the waitlist.
Is STJ Extra Wraparound an extension of the school day?
No! It is a bespoke service that is provided by a separate team within a dedicated building on the school site (The Pilgrim Hall).
It is designed to provide a relaxing and calm environment, to help children transition from the their school day. The number of places are limited based on the environment and providing a high quality service, while observing strict staff to children ratio.
How many STJ Extra Wraparound sessions are available?
500 weekly sessions are available to parents from Reception to Year 6.
On a daily basis: We can provide childcare for up to 100 children:
- 50 children can join our morning wraparound care held in the Pilgrim Hall (7.30am-8.30am).
- 50 children can join our afternoon wraparound care held in the Pilgrim Hall (3.10pm/3.20pm-5.30pm/6.00pm).
Please note that availability is dependent upon existing users cancelling their wraparound sessions.
For the sake of transparency, at the start of each Academic year (or throughout the academic year), all 500 sessions are not available for parents to book. Only those sessions that existing users have relinquished will be available and parents will be offered according to their position on the waitlist.
