At Northbourne, we passionately believe that every child deserves a broad and balanced curriculum—one that extends well beyond academic lessons. Learning happens in many forms, and we are committed to offering rich experiences that help children grow into joyful, independent, and resilient individuals.

A key part of this commitment is our Northbourne North Stars programme—our one-stop shop for wrap-around care and after-school clubs, running from 7:30am to 6:00pm for children in Reception to Years 6, 8:00-5:00 for Nursery children.

This extensive programme offers children the chance to:

• Try new activities
• Develop interests and talents
• Build confidence and friendships
• Enjoy active, creative, and stimulating experiences beyond the classroom

We’re proud of the quality and variety that our North Stars offer. See the timetable below.
