Extended Day

At Rathdown Junior School, we know that every family’s routine is different and that having a safe, caring place for your child to spend their afternoon can make all the difference. Our Extended Day Programme is designed to offer parents genuine peace of mind while giving children a warm, welcoming space that feels like a home from home.

Created in keeping with the caring ethos of the Junior School, the Programme provides a relaxed yet engaging environment where children can play, unwind, explore their interests, and enjoy time with friends under the guidance of our experienced and nurturing staff.

The Extended Day Programme operates throughout the academic year (excluding bank and national holidays) and runs after the school day ends from 3 pm to 6 pm, Monday to Thursday, and 3 pm to 5 pm on Fridays, offering families a reliable and flexible after‑school option.
