The Co-Curriculum
King’s Cross Academy is committed to working in partnership with parents and carers to provide safe, stimulating and enjoyable childcare for our pupils.
We aim to help parents to balance work commitments and family life by providing convenient, affordable and high quality before and after school care during school term time. We also provide an extended curriculum – the ‘co-curriculum’ – which will build on the learning that happens during the school day.
Read on to discover the available services.
Rise and Shine Breakfast Club
In order to help parents and carers, we offer a Breakfast Club at the Academy as part of our extended school service. Parents can drop children at school from 8am for them to have a healthy breakfast and to take part in supervised activities (e.g. painting, planting, board games, educational games in the ICT suite, outdoor play (weather permitting) and help with completing home learning) before the school day starts. At the end of Breakfast Club children will be escorted to their classrooms. The breakfast club will be run by our own Teaching Assistants.
Details on how to book places, the fees and payment will be sent to you when your child is accepted into school.
After School Service
We recognise that for some parents/carers, collecting their child at the end of the school day can be difficult. To help, we provide after school care for children during term time. This service is run by CYMCA.
This service provides on-site childcare, where children can spend the afternoon in a happy, productive environment. It is distinct from our co-curricular clubs provision (outlined in the following section).

The Co-Curriculum – after-school activities that build on the school curriculum
As well as the extended school provision we offer a range of co-curricular clubs for children from Reception class to year 6. Our aim is to provide our children access to fun, enriching learning. Please note that the co-curriculum is not available for our Nursery children.
We have created a menu of stimulating activities which is sent to you at the beginning of each term. Currently our offer includes: yoga, computing, chess and a variety of sports. These are advertised to parents upon admission to the academy.
We work hard to make sure our wrap around extended school service and co curricular is accessible to every child at the Academy
