Schoolz Out is built around a simple belief: children deserve more opportunities to play, create, learn and grow. From PE and enrichment to wraparound care and holiday activities, we help schools and families make every child's time count.
The story behind SCHOOLZ OUT began in 2007 with a simple idea: give children positive, engaging experiences that help them develop through activity, play and learning.
It started with RUGGERBUGS, an early years physical development programme designed to introduce young children to movement, sport and learning through fun.
In 2012, that experience expanded into schools and nurseries through RUGGERKIDZ, delivering PE, sport, after-school clubs and enrichment activities directly within education settings.
SCHOOLZ OUT followed in 2013, initially providing holiday activities and extended childcare. Since then, it has grown into a wider school partner supporting children, families and schools through PE, enrichment, wraparound care and holiday provision.
What has never changed is the reason behind it: creating experiences children genuinely enjoy while giving them opportunities to play, create, learn and grow.
RUGGERBUGS begins. Our journey starts with active early years physical development, helping young children learn and develop through movement and play.
RUGGERKIDZ enters schools. We expand into schools and nurseries, delivering PE, sport, after-school clubs and enrichment activities.
SCHOOLZ OUT launches. Holiday provision and extended childcare become the next step in supporting children and working families.
One trusted school partner. SCHOOLZ OUT now brings together PE, wraparound care, enrichment and holiday provision to support schools, children and families.
Wherever children experience SCHOOLZ OUT, our aim is the same: safe, engaging and professionally delivered sessions that children enjoy and schools and families can rely on.
Children's safety and wellbeing come first. Our provision is structured, appropriately supervised and supported by clear safeguarding procedures and safer working practices.
Children should want to take part. We create energetic, varied and age-appropriate experiences that capture their attention, encourage participation and make their time with us enjoyable.
Every decision starts with the child. We create inclusive environments where children can develop confidence, explore new interests, build friendships and feel part of something.
We represent the schools that trust us. Our team is expected to communicate well, arrive prepared, behave professionally and deliver provision that reflects positively on every school we work with.
Schools and families need provision they can depend on. We focus on strong organisation, dependable staffing and clear communication so that SCHOOLZ OUT works as well behind the scenes as it does with the children.
Good enough isn't the goal. Through training, observation, feedback and ongoing development, we work to maintain and improve the quality of every SCHOOLZ OUT experience.
Great provision has to work for everyone. Children should love it, parents should trust it and schools should be proud to have SCHOOLZ OUT as part of their community.
Everything comes back to four simple ideas that shape the SCHOOLZ OUT experience.
Childhood is full of moments that shape who children become. The time before school, after school, during PE and throughout the holidays shouldn't simply be time to fill.
We believe those moments are opportunities. Opportunities to try something new, discover an interest, make a friend, build confidence, develop a skill or simply have an amazing time being a child.
That's why everything we do at SCHOOLZ OUT comes back to four simple ideas. Whether a child spends an hour with us or becomes part of SCHOOLZ OUT throughout their primary school journey, we want their time with us to give them something positive to take away.
Because great childcare and great coaching should do more than keep children busy. It should help them thrive.
The best measure of what we do is the experience of the schools, educators and families who trust us with their children.

"A Fantastic Addition to Our Preschool"

We have seen great benefits in the children's confidence, listening skills, coordination and enjoyment of physical activity. Matt is fantastic with the children and delivers the sessions with lots of energy, patience and enthusiasm."
