The formal Prep School Day runs from 8:20am to 4:20pm (Years 3 and 4) and from 8:20am to 5:00pm (Years 5 to 8), Monday through to Friday.
We also offer excellent Wraparound Care from 7:30am until 7:30pm, which features a traditional cooked breakfast and supper. Particularly unique to Lockers Park is an approach which means that this is all included within the termly fees and at no extra cost.
