Sometimes, it can be hard to drop your child off at school at 8:30 am and to pick them up at 4:10 pm.
At Queen Ethelburga's, we understand the importance of providing families with flexible, high-quality care that fits around busy schedules. Our comprehensive wraparound care programme offers a safe, supportive, and enriching environment before, during, and after the school day. Day students can arrive on campus from 7.30am and be collected up until 6.00pm, giving families the flexibility they need.

Enriching Experiences Beyond the Classroom
Our wraparound care provision complements the school day by providing students with a wide range of opportunities to continue learning, socialising, and developing their interests.
From early morning sports clubs, including swimming and basketball, to more than 100 after-school clubs, activities, and enrichment sessions, students can explore new interests, develop their talents, and enjoy life beyond the classroom.
Students taking part in after-school activities and clubs can also enjoy an evening meal on campus, providing time to relax, socialise with friends, and make the most of their experience at QE.

For students in Year 3 and above, our Occasional Boarding option allows day students to experience the very best of life at Queen Ethelburga's with the flexibility of an overnight stay.

We also offer flexible boarding packages of 2, 3, 4, or 5 nights per week on a termly basis. Please refer to our UK Fees for flexible boarding charges and full terms and conditions.
