Wrap Around Child Care
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is a very popular club, which has continued to grow since it started in 2010. It is a great opportunity for children to settle into school before the day begins.
Breakfast club time: 8:00 – 8:45am
The children are provided with a range of fruit, cereal, toast options, fruit juice, milk or water.
If your child has a special diet please inform the the school office.

Once the children have eaten their breakfast, there are a variety of different activities that the children can take part in, including: board games, skipping ropes, colouring and Lego.
Cost and how to pay:
Breakfast Club costs £3 per day, per child. Payments can be made via ParentPay, which is our preferred method, or alternatively by cash at the school office. If you have any questions about payments, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
How to book
To book a place, just inform the school Admin Office, they will then add your child to the Breakfast Club register.

How to Book and Pay:
All bookings and payments for K Club are made through ParentPay (our preferred method of payment) or via cash payment to the office. If this is your first time using K Club, please contact us so we can help set up your access to K Club on ParentPay.
To make sure we can plan ahead, bookings and payments need to be completed by 6.00pm the day before you require a place for your child.
Before your child attends K Club for the first time, you’ll also need to complete a registration form. This can be collected from the school office.

Teacher Led After School Clubs
How do I enroll my child in a club?
If your child wishes to enroll in any of these clubs, you must complete and return this booking form ASAP. (One booking form is required per child).
Historically, clubs are usually extremely popular and so your form will need to be in the day following its issue to secure the clubs of your choice. If your child wishes to enroll in any of these clubs, you must complete and return this booking form ASAP. One booking form is required per child.

Will my child get all the clubs they select?
We will endeavor to place pupils in as many clubs as we can but we are often heavily oversubscribed so we will initially allocate 1 club then reallocate others if space is available. In the case of oversubscription, you child will be placed on a waiting list.
How long are clubs?
All clubs are on from 3.15 – 4.15pm. Please collect your child promptly from the central playground at 4.15pm. The after school clubs that we offer are an optional extra for which the teachers give their time willingly. It is unfair to them if they are kept waiting by the late arrival of parents. Parents who are late collecting their child will risk not being able to book their child into clubs in the future.
Where do I collect my child at the end of the session?
Only our gate by the office (Tesco side) is opened for clubs. Children (other than Y6) must be collected after their club, by an adult from the KS1 playground in the middle of the school.
Club Rules
Pupils will no longer be invited to attend clubs if:-
– They do not attend for 2 consecutive weeks (we are normally oversubscribed so we will offer the place to another pupil who is on the waiting list).
– The behavior of the child is an issue
– Or have parents who are systematically late to collect at 4.15pm.
– They forget essential kit and are unsafe to participate.
What does my child have to wear?
The following clubs need a PE kit:
– Football (football boots or trainers, shin pads, joggers or shorts, T-shirt & sweatshirt).
– Netball, Hockey & Sports Hall Athletics (trainers, joggers, leggings or shorts, T-shirt & sweatshirt).
– Gymnastics (joggers, leggings or shorts and T-shirt or leotard).
– Forest School will need to bring in old clothes (Long sleeve top and trousers/joggers), a waterproof coat and wellington boots.
We are looking for other outside organisations that would be willing to come into school and provide clubs for the children. If you run anything yourself or know of anybody who may be interested please can you pass on the schools details.
