Aspire to be more
Welcome to Anne's Ark!
We provide before and after school care for children who attend St. Anne's Primary.
Breakfast club starts at 7.45am until the start of the school day. A choice of healthy breakfast items are provided for your child when they attend.
After School Club starts at the end of the school day and runs until 6pm. The children are provided with a light healthy snack and drink during the evening which is not intended to replace the evening meal but to keep them going until they get home. There is a varied menu for snacks, including sandwiches, crumpets and toast, hot dogs and wraps, which is rotated every week so all the children have access to different snack items regardless of which days they attend. Hot Dogs seem to be a favourite! We have a nurturing approach and encourage the children to eat together at large tables and be independent in serving themselves , buttering toast, setting the tables and helping each other where needed whilst being supervised by members of staff. Some are even keen to help with the washing up afterwards! We reward good manners and those that are kind and helpful with weekly award certificates given out in Fridays morning celebration assemblies.
If you wish your child to attend please contact the After School Club manager, Louise Clift, on the school office number or email l.clift@st-annes.lancs.sch.uk to enquire.
Just some of the activities we do at After School Club include painting , dancing , playing board games and doing puzzles. The children love colouring and drawing and crafting.

Today we are celebrating St David's Day and this week we have been observing and painting still life style and the flower of Wales, Daffodils!
Autumn Term Crafting
Its Pumpkin season so we have been using the knitting machine to make some stuffed Pumpkin toys. The children chose their yarns and with a little supervision cranked the handle, stuffed and sewed. Then they foraged for little sticks in the garden to make the stalks. They're very proud of their makes!
