St Thomas More School

Oxford Active has been managing the after school club at St Thomas More Primary School since 2004. It runs during the school term between the hours of 3.15pm and 6.00pm Monday to Friday. We provide a safe place for children aged 4-11 to rest and play after school, offering various activities such as arts and crafts, board games and toys, sports and fun games, quiet games, reading, TV and general chilling out time. Emphasis is placed on allowing the children to choose what they want to do and assist with the planning of activities. For this reason, we do not have formal plans of what we are going to do each day. When children finish school and come along to the club, a snack is provided of sandwiches, fruit and a drink.

The after school club is exclusively for children who attend St Thomas More Primary School. We normally accept up to 22 children each day, 16 of whom can be aged 8 or less.
