There are a range of after school clubs for infant and junior school pupils. These change regularly ( usually every half term ) and details of clubs are sent out to parents /carers at the start of each half term. If you require more information on which clubs are currently available, please contact the school office .
Bookings
£5.00 Bookings must be made via Parent Pay where you can book up to 100 days in advance with the flexibility that you can cancel any booking you have made up to midnight the day before. When booking, you will be asked to pay for the booked session at the time of the booking; however, you do not need to pay until the day before.
Please note: If payment is not received by midnight the day before your booking, your child’s place will be automatically CANCELLED and they will be unable to attend the session; therefore, it is very important that you make payment on time. Parents are asked to book the session as required; if, however, you are late and go into the next session then the later amended rate will be charged and vice versa if you have booked a later session and are early an amendment may be arranged.
If you are having any problems accessing your account please contact the school office or if you are having any financial difficulties you can speak to Mr. Haisman-Baker, the School Office Manager in confidence. The school reserves the right to refuse use of the facilities due to non-payment of fees.
Drop Off & Collection
All children attending Breakfast Club are to be dropped off via the main entrance and must be signed by a member of our Breakfast Club staff. For Tea Club, all children are to be collected from Tea Club by a person over the age of 16 and signed out – they must be collected no later than 5:45pm. If the office is unmanned, please ring the Tea Club mobile 07385117623 to let Tea Club know you are there.
The parent/carer contract requires a contact telephone number and address for those persons who are authorised to pick up their children and for use in case of an emergency. You must inform us if these details change or if someone else will be collecting your child. Please also provide a password to be used if you need another adult to collect your child.
At no given time while a child is attending the facility will he/she be allowed to leave with anyone other than the authorised person(s) without prior permission.
Allocation of Places
Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all available places have been filled, a waiting list will be created. Any spaces that become available will be offered to the first child on the waiting list.
Our clubs have a maximum capacity of 45 children, so we strongly recommend booking in advance to secure your child’s place.
Booking deadlines:
- Breakfast Club: Bookings must be made by 2:00 PM on the day before the session.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee places for bookings made after these deadlines.
Snacks
A light snack will be available for children until 8:30am at Breakfast Club and until 4:00pm at Tea Club. If your child has any food intolerances or allergies please inform the supervisory assistants of this so that these children can catered for.
Activities
The children will take part in a range of activities suitable for all ages and stages of development enhancing each child’s physical, intellectual, educational, social, cultural and creative development.
Expectations of the Child
Whilst staff will promote and maintain a positive and caring environment, the children are expected to: be polite to staff, parents and each other, show consideration to the needs of others, respond to reasonable instruction given to them by a member of staff and not resort to physical violence. All unacceptable behavior will be reported to parents/carers and may result in your child’s future use of this service being suspended.
Accidents and Illness
In the event of your child becoming unwell, you will be contacted immediately. If your child has an accident; a first aider will check them over and deem what first aid is necessary; for minor injuries, a form will be completed and will come home with your child to inform you of their accident. For head bumps and more serious accidents, the parent/carer will be contacted immediately.
Belongings and Personal Property
Children must not bring monies or valuables into the facility; if this cannot be avoided, all valuables should be handed to the supervisory assistants for safekeeping. The facility cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to belongings and personal property.
Child Protection
The facility has a duty to protect children in its care, not only from risks on site but from forms of abuse (mental, physical, emotional or sexual). Any concerns will be brought to the attention of the safeguard lead and dealt with by the appropriate person. All proceedings and information will remain confidential.
