After School in the Senior School
Although there is no after school care facility for Senior School pupils, our extensive extra-curricular provision means that pupils can stay on at school to participate in a wide range of activities after the close of lessons.
George Watson’s College provides a Holiday Club for current pupils, as well as offering a wide range of sport, music and drama camps for children whether they attend Watson’s or other schools. You can find out more about what’s on offer and details of how to book on the Holiday Camps page.
