Hampstead Parochial is committed to supporting busy families through flexible wraparound care alongside a broad selection of popular after-school clubs. From physical activities like running and football to groups that sharpen problem-solving and strategic skills, our diverse programs foster teamwork, personal development, and critical thinking—helping every child develop into a well-rounded individual and live life in all its fullness.

Wrap-around Care

Our Breakfast Club provision, running from 8:00 am, provides a welcoming and supportive environment where children can start their school day in a positive and nutritious way. Offering a variety of healthy breakfast options, the club ensures that all children are well-nourished before their lessons begin. During this time, children not only enjoy their breakfast but also have the opportunity to socialise with peers from their own year group and others, fostering a sense of community and friendship. This inclusive provision caters to the needs of all students, providing a safe and caring space to support their well-being and development.

Our Fun and Leisure Club provision, running from 3:45 pm to 6:00 pm, is a popular and highly valued service at Hampstead Parochial. After a busy school day, children have the opportunity to unwind, socialise, or relax in a safe and caring environment. Many enjoy spending time in the Leisure Club garden, playing with friends or engaging in quiet activities such as reading, colouring, or exploring a variety of games and crafts. What sets our club apart is that both the Breakfast Club and Fun and Leisure Club are led by our dedicated Hampstead Parochial staff, ensuring the highest level of pastoral care for all children. This continuity of care supports children’s well-being and helps them feel secure and nurtured throughout the day.

Our Coding Club is structured across two distinct groups—one for Key Stage 1 and another for Key Stage 2—allowing students to build and expand their technical knowledge as they progress through the school.
