Platform One Out of School Club
Platform One Out of School Club
Platform One is Orton Wistow Primary School's before and after school childcare provision. It aims to promote a healthy lifestyle, emotional and physical wellbeing, and to encourage the children to be active, engaged and interested in the world and the people around them. The children enjoy fun, play-based activities alongside more structured tasks based on the children’s areas of interest.

Platform One Facilities
We have our own building and garden on the school grounds but which are separate from the school building.
The outside space consists of a grassy area, a paved area and picnic tables. We also have access to the main school playgrounds when school is closed. Inside Platform One, there are toilets, a kitchen and two rooms: a home-from-home living room with a television and comfy sofas, and a games and activities room.
