After-school clubs

"My child really has had fun . . . thank you for inspiring him." (Monika Lekuse, South Morningside parent)

"We have all been delighted with what wildlife club has provided. My child has enjoyed the sessions enormously and despite all types of weather (generally foul!) she always goes enthusiastically and returns home exhausted and exuberant. There seems to be a good blend of ages and the assignments for the classes provide them with endless stimulation and fun." (Helen Mitchel, South Morningside parent)

"We have both learned so much about the countryside and the environment in a fun, enjoyable and safe way." Katriona  and Philipa  (age 10, South Morningside)
