Bursaries
We offer a limited number of means-tested, subsidised and free places for children joining us in Reception (4+)
Lunch and Snacks
All children at Gayhurst enjoy a freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced lunch each day. Nursery pupils also receive a wholesome, plant-based mid-morning snack. For those staying on for after-school activities, an additional snack is provided at the end of the school day. All meals and snacks are included in the school fees.
After-school-care
Children from Nursery onwards are welcome to stay for after-school care until 17:15. For families needing a later collection, our Supper Club is available until 18:00 for a small additional charge. We also offer a Breakfast Club to support early starts — perfect for our early risers and busy mornings!
After-school-activities
We offer an extensive range of after-school activities, with the majority included in the school fees. These enriching opportunities allow children to explore new interests, develop skills, and enjoy time with friends beyond the classroom.
LAMDA
At Gayhurst, we offer LAMDA lessons that can be taken individually, in pairs, or in small groups, all centered around the fun of Speech and Drama! These engaging lessons come at a small extra cost and are held during the school day. A wonderful number of our children participate, discovering a fantastic way to build their confidence along the way!
Individual Music Lessons
We’re excited to offer a fantastic team of peripatetic music teachers! Your child can enjoy individual music lessons on a variety of instruments. Please note that these are available for an additional charge and conveniently take place throughout the school day.
