We recognise here at the Model that many parents and carers have busy schedules and that childcare can cause issues as well as being very expensive. 

As a school we have taken steps recently to increase our range of after school provision. This approach is not only to assist parents with childcare provision but also to further widen our approach to providing a holistic education for our pupils. We offer fun, engaging and relaxing activities for our pupils to take part in, which is supervised at all times. 

Foundation to Primary 3

Primary 1 and 2 children can stay in school until 2.55pm and engage with a wide range of play based activities in our Rainbow Club. This session costs only £1 daily. 

At 2.55pm - 4pm Primary 1 to Primary 3 children can avail of a choice of three clubs daily, costing £3 per club. Examples of these clubs include Yoga Bops, Jumping Clay, Boxercise, Art, Mathletics and Cookery. 

Primary 4 to Primary 7

As our pupils move towards the upper end of the school we recognise that their needs change. To reflect this we run a Homework Club which runs daily from 3pm to 4pm. All pupils from P4 to P7 can avail of this and several adults are there to provide support and assistance if needed to the pupils with their daily homework activities. This club is funded through our Extended Schools and therefore there is no cost for pupils to attend. 

We also provide a wide range of clubs for our older pupils. These include Judo, Flamenco, School Choir, Cricket, GAA and Basketball. 

Furthermore every Friday afternoon pupils from P4 to P7 engage in a variety of free clubs from 2 to 3pm. These rotate over the course of the year so pupils get to experience in engaging with a wide range of different activities and different pupils from all year groups. These clubs are provided by staff members and include Cookery, Chess, Dance, Construction, Walking, Art and many more. 

As a school your child's holistic development is paramount to us and we do all we can to ensure that your child gets the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of extra curricular activities during their time at the Model PS. 

P4 -P7 children can remain in school from 4pm to 5pm at a £3 cost per day.
