Five connected ways to keep children engaged
OUR PURPOSE
Every Child Deserves to Feel Awesome About Who They Are
That belief has guided Club Engage from the beginning. We create spaces where children can discover their strengths, build confidence, connect with others and keep enjoying childhood beyond the school day.
“Through carefully designed programmes and carefully selected people, we help children discover their strengths, grow in confidence and flourish beyond the classroom.”
Genevieve Allen
Managing Director, Club Engage
OUR STORY
From a Clear Belief to 40+ Sites
Club Engage grew by solving a practical challenge from three perspectives: families need dependable care, schools need a trusted on-site partner, and children need afternoons that still feel like childhood.

WHAT GUIDES US
Values That Shape Everyday Decisions
They guide how we care for children, work with families, respond to schools and support one another.
01
Respect
For ourselves, the children in our care, and the families and school communities we partner with.
02
Empathy
We try to understand how another person feels and use that understanding to guide meaningful action.
03
Agility
We stay flexible in mind and approach, and recover constructively when plans need to change.
04
Care and Curiosity
Care sits at the heart of what we do. We welcome ideas and value the strength that diversity brings.
05
Happiness
Joy and passion matter. We aim to create an environment where children and staff can bring both to the day.
A CURRICULUM WITH ROOM TO RESPOND
Five Ways We Keep Every Week Active and Interesting
REACH gives our teams a clear programme framework while leaving room to respond to children’s interests, enthusiasm and the character of each school community.
R
Run & Play
Movement, games and energetic opportunities to participate together.
E
Experiment
Questions, investigation and hands-on discovery.
A
Art
Creative expression using colour, materials and imagination.
C
Create
Making, building and turning ideas into something tangible.
H
Health
Activities that encourage positive habits and wellbeing.
Why flexibility matters: weekly themes create consistency, while our teams can adapt activities around what children are responding to in the moment.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PROGRAMME
A Strong Framework Still Needs the Right People
A programme creates the structure. Our people bring warmth, judgement, energy and connection to each day. That is why careful selection and a shared set of values matter so much.
- People selected with care for child-facing work
- Shared values that guide everyday behaviour
- A clear programme framework for consistent delivery
- Responsive support from the Club Engage Head Office team
