Creative Chameleons After School Club

A space where creativity, imagination, and confidence flourish every day!

Welcome to Creative Chameleons After School Club – where focused skills-based learning meets inspiring artistic development. We are Ofsted registered and have evolved from our themed arts and crafts approach to deliver a comprehensive curriculum focused on teaching specific artistic techniques and skills.

Our new learning-based programme is designed to systematically build artistic abilities, fostering technical proficiency alongside creativity and confidence. Each session is carefully structured to develop core artistic skills and techniques, giving children a solid foundation in the visual arts while celebrating their individual creative expression and growth.

  • Our structured curriculum focuses on building fundamental artistic skills through progressive learning. Each course is designed to develop technical proficiency while encouraging creative exploration, ensuring children gain confidence and competence in their chosen artistic discipline.

    We are committed to offering a safe and inspiring atmosphere. Our mission is to empower the next generation and cultivate a love for creativity that lasts a lifetime. Join us on this exciting journey where every stroke of a paintbrush becomes a step toward a brighter, more creative future!

What food/drink should my child bring?

Please pack a healthy nut-free snack - we recommend something that children can consume quickly as we only have 10 minutes allocated to snack time before we dive into our session.

What age groups can attend Creative Chameleons After School Club?

We welcome children of all abilities from ages 4-11. Please note that Reception children cannot join during Term 1.1, but are welcome from Term 1.2.

How do I book my child's place and when is payment due?

Payments and bookings must be made in advance of the term ahead. Priority will be given to current Club Chameleons, following this bookings are then made on a first come first serve basis.

Do children need any prior art experience to join?

Not at all! Our courses are designed to welcome complete beginners alongside those with some experience. We believe every child has creative potential waiting to be discovered, and we will guide each child at their own pace, building confidence and skills from wherever they start.

What are the timings?

We collect children directly from their classrooms at 3.15pm and take them to the art room for the session. Sessions run until 4.45pm.

Where is the collection point for pickup?

Children can be collected from the main school gates on Leahurst Road promptly at 4.45pm. We offer a 5-minute grace period until 4.50pm. After this time, there is a late pickup charge of £5 for every 5-minute block (or part thereof).
