The After School Club has just been give a new identity. From now on after school club will be known as W.A.S.P., which stands for Willowgarth After School Posse. The name was chosen from a number of suggestions that were entered into a naming competition that all after school members could enter.

The accreditation shows that the club reaches criteria in regards to facilities and activities that is beyond the National standard expected of out of hours childcare.

We do all kinds of engaging activities to keep our members entertained, including arts & crafts, computers, film nights, games, homework help and regular competitions.
Whenever possible, we also take the club outside to our little garden or onto the field to play sports games such as non-stop cricket. Back to top
