Schools

In this section, you will find general information about Camden schools during COVID, including open and closed schools, free school meals, school transport, uniform and COVID testing in schools. Every Camden school will be approaching the school day differently according to their unique circumstances, so please advise parents to contact their child's school directly for information and advice. 

There is a wealth of information about home-learning in the Childrens Activities and Home Learning tab. 

Community-Based Play Providers (Wraparound Care)

Many Camden schools provide before and after-school clubs themselves, but we are also incredibly lucky to have a wide range of community-based play organisations who provide wraparound care too. 

Family Early Help funds a number of play spaces, to support parents who are working or to support parents looking for employment, and to help primary school children we are working with to have all the amazing physical, social and emotional benefits of play. Early help play spaces are free but limited. 

For more information about play/wraparound care availability, or to make a referral for an early help play space for a family you are working with, contact Tara Curtis (on Outlook).

Here is a list of all the play providers details, locations, rates and Camden school term dates.
