Wraparound Care & Extracurricular
At Northampton High School, we are proud to offer an extensive Wraparound Care service to help our busy parents in their day-to-day routines, as well offering an unparalleled Extracurricular timetable to help stimulate our students.
-
Our Nursery and PreSchool is open 7am – 6pm and runs for 50 weeks a year. The core hours of 8am – 5pm are included in school fees and the additional morning and afternoon times are booked by parents directly using the school Vectare system. We offer ballet and forest school with specialist teachers weekly as part of our fees, and swimming lessons as an additional extra to girls in our PreSchool.

A vast and varied array of extracurricular clubs are provided before school, during lunchtimes and after school for Junior School students, led by our own teaching staff, all of which are included in our fees. In addition to these, there are further clubs run by external providers, such as ballet and tennis, which are available for an extra charge. Clubs change on a termly basis to provide breadth of opportunity.
Wraparound care is available to all students from 7.30am to 6pm, at no extra cost. After school, when not participating in clubs, pupils can choose between a quiet room where they may read or complete prep (homework), a practical room with fun activities, or play outside. A snack and a choice of fruit are available for all. Breakfast and late tea are available for students at an extra charge, if required.

There are many extracurricular activities that take place before the school day, during lunchbreaks and after school. The majority of these clubs are run by our own staff, and there is no additional fee payable. We hold an exciting and informative clubs fair at the start of the autumn term, where girls can select the activities in which they wish to participate. In addition to these, there are further clubs run by external providers, such as ballet, music and LAMDA lessons, which are available for an extra charge.
The school is open from 7.30am and students can purchase breakfast from 8am if they choose to. Late Prep, our supervised homework club, runs from 4pm to 5pm. After Late Prep, Late Stay, a more relaxed, supervised session, runs until 6pm. There is no additional charge for girls using Late Prep or Late Stay.
