St Peter’s CE Primary Gives Wraparound Care a Permanent Home with Newly Designed Hub
We are proud to be celebrating the creation of a newly designed, dedicated space for its wraparound care provision – giving before and after school support a permanent home within the school building.
Previously hosted across shared school facilities, the wraparound care – known as Funclub – now operates from a purposefully designed hub that offers a warm, welcoming environment for children to relax, play and continue learning outside of classroom hours. It runs 50 weeks a year, supporting busy families with flexible, high-quality care.
“We understand the pressures working families face,” says Headteacher Paul Griffiths. “Our wraparound care isn’t just convenient – it’s an extension of our nurturing environment, where children continue to thrive beyond the classroom. There are fantastic staff that work both in school and at Fun Club ensuring pupils feel secure and happy while they are there.”
Fun Club was praised by Ofsted (October 2024) for its inclusive atmosphere and strong relationships between staff and children. Whether families need an early start or a late pickup, they can rely on a setting where children feel safe, engaged and happy.
St Peter’s C E Primary School, nestled in the heart of Harrogate, is proud to be recognised as a “Good” school by Ofsted (March 2024) a testament to its warm, inclusive ethos and commitment to joyful learning.
At St Peter’s, every child is known, valued, and supported. Whether families come from a faith background or none, the school welcomes everyone with open arms. In fact, most of our families live outside the traditional catchment area, drawn by the school’s reputation for care, community, and academic excellence.
Free parking right outside the school gates makes drop-off and pick-up a breeze, and the school’s central location means it’s easily accessible from across Harrogate and beyond.
Families are invited to discover St Peter’s with bespoke guided tours with the Headteacher – a place where learning is joyful, community is strong, and every child is given the attention they deserve.
