Hello and welcome to BPC Karemore Out of School Club! - This page is designed to give you as much information as possible about how the club is run and what we require from you. The club is run with a great deal of input from both the children and you the parents. Any constructive comments, or ideas, will be gratefully received.

This Hall is upstairs used for group activities such as Movie afternoons, House Group Meetings, Children’s Committee etc.

Due to our numbers and our staff to children ratios, the use of rooms may vary day to day however, we always ensure that the children have access to a wide range of activities and are able to take part in any activity that they wish to do so.

THE GARDENS AND PLAYGROUND

We have use of the church’s gardens and also permission from the school to utilise the playgrounds. This enables us to get the children outside and play if the weather permits!
