Aftercare

Aftercare is a service provided for children whose parents/guardians, for either work or family/personal reasons, are unable to collect their children directly after school. Aftercare is not as structured as the school morning, however it does provide a relaxed space and routine where children have lunch and/or a snack, hear a story, play, learn new games and skills and do their homework. The environment and values are in keeping with the Waldorf approach.

Michael Oak’s Aftercare operates both in the Playgroup/Kindergarten and the Primary School. Playgroup/Kindergarten Aftercare is open every school day from 12:15 to 15:15. Children who are not collected by then, are taken up to the Primary School Aftercare. Primary School Aftercare is open every school day from 12:30 to 17:30.

There is an aftercare supervisor in both the KIndergarten and Primary School. Both are considered members of Faculty and report to the College of Teachers.

For security purposes, we keep a daily register with child’s name, arrival time, name of person who collected the child and departure time.

Holiday Club

During the school holidays Michael Oak offers a holiday club programme. The programme varies from term-to-term and only runs if there is enough interest. The programme has included parallel activities such as:

  • Holiday Club (similar to aftercare)
  • Basketball Clinic
  • Ball Skills, Fitness and Soccer Bootcamp
  • Daily Outdoor Adventures (off-campus)

The activities are for various age groups. Children are welcome to do a combination, but must register and pay in advance. A detailed programme is mailed to the school community and advertised in the Leaflet a few weeks before the end of each term.

“The sensory world is the school, without which the human being would never come to the spirit.”
