After School Club
The After School Club runs during term times from 3.30 to 6 pm.
UPDATE FOR 2023-24
The charity reviewed its fee structure for the After School Club following a decision from Islington Council to cut their funding to Elizabeth House by 70% (to support low income families and more provisions across the borough).
The After School Club fees are now as follow:
- £12 per session, per child
- £10 for siblings
- £5 for low income families (with a household income under £34,999 per year)
If you think you may be eligible for the concession rate, please fill in this form and contact the office to provide evidence of income.
If your child is booked to attend an after school activity, you can pay an extra £5 for collection at school and to stay until 6 pm.
All fees must be paid in advance.
The After School Club is very popular so make sure you book a place in advance and let us know if your child is unable to attend.
We also have an exciting programme of after school enrichment activities opened to ALL children from the local community.
