Extra-Curricular, Trips & Activities

PHAB

PHAB (Peacehaven Heights After School and Breakfast Club) provides a safe, fun and welcoming environment for children before and after the school day. Breakfast Club runs daily from 7:30am to 8:45am, with children escorted to class ready to start their day. After School Club operates from 3:30pm to 5:30pm at the Junior site, with children from the Infant site collected and accompanied there.

Children enjoy a wide range of activities including sports, games, creative play, outdoor activities and social time with friends, with snacks provided during sessions. Flexible booking options are available through ParentMail, making it easy for families to access childcare that fits their needs. PHAB is a popular choice with pupils, offering a friendly and engaging environment where children can learn, play and thrive beyond the school day.

Extra-Curricular Clubs

At Peacehaven Heights Academy, we value pupil and stakeholder voice and regularly review our extra-curricular provision to ensure it reflects the interests, talents and aspirations of our school community.
